Balance Transfer Oddity
So I recently performed a balance transfer and on the card I transferred the balance from I've received a charge of "Standard Balance Transfer Interest" and it's more than double what the balance transfer fee was on the card I moved the balance to. Is that just a thing they can do or do I need to fight this?

I have this credit card and have reached £100 cashback (I’ve had this for 2 months now). I have until the end of March with the 5% cashback offer before it drops to 0.5%, it says that there is a maximum of £100 that I can earn. Is that per month or per year? It isn’t clear on the website.

I bought a robot vacuum cleaner from Amazon in 2021. After a couple of years of service, it's suddenly stopped navigating around the house (possibly related to a firmware update, but I can't easily prove that) - so became completely useless, six weeks outside of the warranty. I spoke to the manufacturer, who couldn't offer…

NatWest are stopping their Buy Now Pay Later card , any alternatives?
I was invited by NatWest to take this out last year. Nice small limit of £750, great for smaller purchases that I could spread interest free over 4 months.
