No Fee on 0% Credit Card?
Does any-one know of a current 0% Credit Card which does not charge a balance transfer fee? I've looked at http://www.stoozing.com/0fees.php which does not show any. Given the current interest rates etc, even a fee of 2.89% over 16 months (Virgin), I have calculated that for my personal circumstances, I would make me a…

The due date falls on Saturday 25th.…

Following MSE recommendation, I opened a Smile card on-line. This is the Co-op's on-line credit card facilitiy. Unfortunately they were really bad about making it possible to pay the first balance (in full!) before they were able to set up the direct debit. They refused to give me a paying in slip. We managed in the end to…
