Many people posting seem to think that Barclaycard's 'life of balance' BT offer at 2.9% fixed is unmissable but I disagree. As an investment vehicle it's a dog! Let's say the fund xferred to your Building Soc a/c pays 5.35%p.a. After 40% tax this is 3.21%-forget it! If your tax is 20% you receive 4.28%, netting you 1.38%…

Paying Credit Card Balance from Egg
Sorry - I know this has been answered before but I can't find the posting :'( My question is - can you make a payment from an Egg savings account directly to a credit card? I know that the payment facility on Egg has room for a 'reference' but can this be a card number? Has anyone actually done it? Ta :)

When's a good time of day to phone MBNA?
I've cleared my balance and want to cancel my MBNA card. Well, actually, I don't want to. I want them to think I want to, so they'll give me a 0% offer just to stay. What is a good time of day to do this? In the middle of the night, or in the middle of the day when there's a manager around to approve a special deal?
