Dormant Credit Card Charge!!!

hotelalpha

I have just recieved updated T&Cs for my abbey zero card (which I got to use on holidays as there is no fee for taking money out abroad etc etc). They have now decided that they will charge £10 if a card is unused for 6 consecutive months and therefore classed as dormant.

Just another way of making money from people who want to use the card for its best purpose - easy transactionfee-free access to cash abroad, and in the current credit climate I can't see me going aboroad every 6 months!

Shock, horror. Shame on those profit-making companies.

Well buy a MARS bar every now and then.

Yes it's not an exclusive card to use abroad. Just remember to use the card for small purchases every now and again and you won't get stung. As far as I know there is no minimum spend arrangement.
