Balance Transfer without the fee
Not sure if this is going to be useful for anyone. I hope it is. I recently contacted Barclaycard to get my interest rate reduced. No luck there. So my next move was to transfer as much of the balance as possible to another card with a lower interest rate. When transfering I managed to talk my way into wavering the balance…

When 0% isn't 0% - yorkshire mastercard
Yorkshire Bank have an attractive offer with their MasterCard. Or so I thought. 0% BT for 16 months for a 3% fee sounded good. I was pleased to get a good credit limit and find out I could transfer direct from a bank as well. But there's a nasty catch I luckily discovered just in time: the 0% only applies to the transfer,…
