Cancelling credit cards?
(My first post, love the site..) I decided to cancel my Barclaycard after reading the cancelling credit cards article. I try not to put any debt on credit cards, just spend on them so the balance transfer thing isn't of much use. Anyway, after ages on hold the woman suggested putting it on hold and they would still answer…

MBNA limits - how much to go for?
Hello all! I've got approved for an MBNA Virgin card - limit £10,000. I could try and increase the limit, but they would have to go through and 're-approve' the application. I was just wondering: 1/ How much do people normally get as a percentage of their income? 2/ Is there a maximum limit?

Paying Off Someone Else's Balance
I've signed up for Virgin and Intelligent Finance credit cards, and have transferred my own balances to these cards.

Delete CVV number?
At least I think that's what it's called; the three digit security code on the back of credit cards. I was just reading an article which gave the standard advice of 'don't let your card out of your sight', so that bad people can't clone your card and copy your CVV number. It occurred to me, would it be a good move to make…

Greetings, Has anyone who has been to Peru got any suggestions on whether it is beneficial to have both a Visa and Mastercard? Currently the only cards I have are Visa-based, except my Maestro, and I don't particularly want to use that there in case of fraud. Should I apply for and take a Mastercard as well or does…

Credit card thicko...anyone help?
Hello I have a question which probably sounds very daft - I paid my dads credit card but there were some unposted transactions and so on, but i paid what i thought was right. All fine and dandy.

do card purchases expire?
I need a bit of advice. I've recently received a Barclaycard VISA CC statement (June 05) which shows a purchase (hotel stay) from Dec 04. Whilst this is a valid charge, it is a little late at showing up on my card. My question really is - do retailers/CC companies have a maximum time period in which they can actually claim…
