ZOPA Credit Card - My Experience

One notable perk is the absence of foreign transaction fees, making international…

Applying for two credit cards on the same day
My OH applied for two cards (one after another) on the same day, while the first application was approved the second one was rejected. I know this was a bit foolish, the credit rating is excellent, so thought it was worth a shot. Two Hard seraches are visible on the credit report. Just wondering whether it was back to back…

Freemans Account
I've never had credit my entire life, that's how we grew up, you have the money or you don't, if the latter you wait until you do. So, decided I need to get a better credit rating and took an account with Freemans since they offered a discount on the first purchase too. I've found it baffling, probably because i've never…

'Onmo' Credit Card (& Debit Account)
I was casually checking my 'borrowing power' on TotallyMoney this morning as haven't for a few months and a new Credit Card popped up that I haven't heard of before. It gave me a Guaranteed APR and Credit Limit (which is not very common amongst lenders to offer credit limit) so I thought i'd read up a bit more. Seems to be…

Balance transfer from foreign bank.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to transfer the balance from a foreign credit card(Bank of China) to a 0% uk based one? If not is there another way of doing this? Paying it off with cash from a CC? Or is that a terrible idea? Thanks.

So Amex had their shop small offer this weekend whereby if you spend £15 in certain small shops, you get £5 back (up to a max of 3 shops). I used this offer 3 times over the weekend, but haven't got my cashback yet. Has anyone else received it? Or am I being too impatient?

Halifax Clarity interest when withdrawing cash
I withdrew cash in a foreign currency with an ATM. At the end of the month I got my statement and had been charged interest on this transaction even though it's not time to pay. I always pay off when the payment is due at the end of the month and plan to this time as well. Is this interest a mistake? It seems illegal as I…

Last year I paid for a stay at a Premier Inn using my John Lewis Credit card which at the time was managed by MBNA. However I had to cancel and was provided with a refund.

Barclays won't reissue a 3 year old cheque
Barclays sent me a cheque 3 years ago as I had overpaid on my credit card. I put this aside and forgot about it due to Covid and have only recently come across it again. Of course my bank will not honour a cheque dated over 6 months. I phoned Barclays and they have said that they will not reissue the cheque as my credit…
