Ideally I want to keep the barclaycard to…

Ppi claims
I used to have an account with the TSB and am sure that loans I took out while with them had PPI cover. I've been trying to find out but seem to be getting a bit of a run around when I phone TSB they direct me to another call that ultimately lead me to Lloyds who say that they do not cover TSB. Does anyone have any advice?

Paying a mortgage on a 0% Purchases Card
EDIT: Paying a mortgage on a 0% Purchases Card or a cashback card I know people paying their mortgage on their credit cards is often used in surveys as a marker for how well off the country is, ie more people doing it suggests more people are struggling with money. Is this just because it suggests they don't have the money…

Manufactured spending
A question not about stoozing per se, but I suspect stoozers will be in the know if there are options out there. I just moved to the UK from the US. In the US, I was milking credit card rewards schemes (air miles, cash back, etc) through manufactured spending (ms). MS is essentially buying something that's easily converted…
