Paying student loan on interest free credit card
Has anybody thought about the benefits of paying off your student loan with a credit card (either on 0% purchases or a reward card i.e. cash back then transferring to 0% balance transfer). Could avoid the 1.5% interest and possibly make some cash back too?! With nearly 3 year interest free deals, might be worth it as long…

Hi, N.B. I meant FROM card with virtually no balance! Sorry.

This…

Stoozing & Balance Transfers......
Hi There, There may well be an answer to my question in some of the fine print, however that would take quite some time to read through. To put it simply, I am just thinking about the Stoozing process, mainly when I get to the point of the balance transfer when the first credit card at 0% comes to an end and I transfer…

Muleing with a Santander Zero atm withdrawals?
So I've not even really started my slow stooze plan, and I noticed something interesting on my Santander Zero card statement.

First Direct Gold Card - direct debit not from 1st Account?
I recently got a First Direct Gold credit card after the 0% period on my Nationwide card expired. However, it only seems to let me set up a direct debit from my 1st account. Is it possible to pay off the minimum amount by direct debit but from a non-First Direct account? If so, how?

Cards most likely to offer credit limit of £6000(ish) and 0% purchases?
I’m hoping to get some advice on which cards are most likely to offer me a credit limit of approximately £6000 and 0% on purchases. Ideally I will need 32 months at 0% (at which point my ISA will mature), which would require a balance transfer and another card somewhere down the line, but I don’t currently have any…

MBNA Money transfer
It would seem the new MBNA card is well set up for stoozing. 0% for 24months on money transfers with a 2.69% fee. That averages to a 1.35% fee per year so if the money were put in say a 5% interest current account. You'd pocket at least 2.5% interest (low rate taxpayer). Thats a free 250 quid per year if you were fortunate…
