MINT Super Balance Transfer...?

paddytt

I just called Mint and asked about a "Balance Transfer into my bank account" and was told that I can't do that, only to other cards.

Is it still possible and how do I go about it?

thanks

Cheques! They are fee free - but only if written after the 30th November

I suggest you use the card for purchases only, initially and then write yourself a cheque on 1 December to enjoy 7 months completely free

I'm considering Mint for my next card. Can someone tell me if they send the cheques out with the card, shortly afterwards (like Virgin), much later (like Capital One), or do you have to specifically request them?

I already have a card, so I can't say if they currently send them with a new card. But when I called earlier to ask for some, they stated 3 weeks.

My cheques automatically arrived a week after application, even before the actual card!. This was a year ago though.

My MINT card arrived about a week & half ago - no sign of any cheques yet.

Yes indeedy, I received my Mint card about 6 weeks ago, I haven't transferred the money yet because I am waiting until 1st December when there is no fee for balance transfers.

forgive me for seeming dumb, but how do ppl know that after the 30 of November the 2% transaction charge will be wavered?

It's on their website at...

...and also in the summary box/T&C's.

But it says nothing about going 0%? Only that a 2% charge will be paid before this date, sorry i need things in very simple bullet points
