I'm sure they will not stop what you have done BUT by broadcasting it alerts them that this practice is going on.0 -

just to update you all!!!
Amazingly enough i applied for 3 cards and was accepted on all 3.A&L,Natwest and I.F.
The applications took from 1-6 weeks for all 3.
Unbeknown all 3!! balance transfered off my Tesco card (i wrote on all 3 applications thinking i may only be successful on maybe 1).Thus i had a positive balance of £5000+ on my credit card with Tesco.They have kindly for a fee of £25 wired me the ££ or for free i could have waited for 3 weeks.
Would'nt advise doing this but if you need cash.....:: No Unauthorised Links in Signatures please - FM ::0 -

There's nothing kind about this. In fact, it is unkind of them to make you pay a fee in exchange for not waiting a jolly unreasonable 3 weeks!
It is your money that they've got, and you are losing interest on it while they have it.0
