Hi, did anybody noticed that all the 6 months-0% offers have disappeared from the Virgin Atlantic credit card website? Also the function to transfer money into your current account (which is essential for stoozing) has disappeared.

Silly Minimums
Hi there Two of our cc, MBNA and Halifax, both on 0% started what I call silly minimums a few months back. MBNA for example, on a £8K debt, charge me a minimum payment of around £40 a month. Now I know a proper minimum should be at least £160 but of course I am stuck now. The 0% runs out in June so if I transfer the…

On the advice of the last email I applied for a Amex Platinum Card to enjoy the cash back bonus as advertised. All went well and yesterday my card arrived and I duly activated…

Stoozing questions
Hi, Just a few questions re stoozing. First out of interest. Why do super balance transfers exist. Why would a CC company allow transfer of their money to curent accounts? I presume the amount they give you is associated to how much you earn? Do they take the initial charge off the amount they lend you or do you have to…

Credit Card Application
Hey there! Thinking of applying for a new Abbey 0% card (after reading the nightmares people have had doing it online I think i'll do it in a branch instead) however, my question is; Is there any benefit/drawback from having an additional cardholder added during the application process, might abbey look favourably on it or…

Stoozing to overpay mortgage - help required!
Hi there, This is my first post, so please be patient! I've just read a post on the Mortgage Free Wannabee board where someone was saying he had paid off his mortgage early by borrowing money on 0% credit cards (the money from the credit card was being paid straight into his bank account, I think) and he was using this…

Stoozing - Something missing?
Hi People, With stoozing, which I realise I am doing with my Virgin Credit Card, I think one small detail has been omitted. As far as I can see, there is no account given to the minimum repayments. E.g. You stooze the cash, pay the 2.98% fee and save the cash, at 6%. However, for 16 months you pay the minimum repayment,…
