has anyone tried waitrose credit card...?

i think i read it offers 0% for 3 months with no balance transfer fees. may be useful for 3 months - though short period. any tips? thanks in advance.

Seeing as noone else answered, yes I have one. It's past the 3 month 0% now and I only occasionally use it for purchases in Waitrose, as this gives 1% in Waitrose vouchers (0.5% elsewhere). Not using at the moment as Egg is giving me 2% cashback!. However, it can be useful in that you can use the quick checkout in Waitrose (even if you don't end up paying with the Partnership card!) and there are occasional invitations to get togethers in your local Waitrose/John Lewis. I haven't been to one, but a freebie mince pie near Christmas can't be bad!

Nearly forgot, they have just sent me cheques for 2% balance transfer for ? months. (5 or 6, don't have them to hand to check, but I have to think whether to do it before 7th December and clear small balance before using them (if I do!)

No, this is a one off promotion, 2% fixed on as many balances as I like, before 7th December, within credit limit, until 30th June. Don't know if this is available to all, or just because I had paid off intitial 0%. Doesn't mention a further fee - if there were one, it ain't worth doing! As it is, I have Egg anniversary in December, so would resent paying even 2%, but am having a think!
