    Errrrrr feel I should know the answer to this but excuse my ignorance.......What is trolling?? :confused:
    "Trolling: Mischievously posting a deliberately erroneous or obtuse message to a newsgroup in order to tempt others to reply – usually in a way that makes them appear gullible, intemperate or foolish."

  • I want to try stoozing and am looking at the sky card. has anyone got a clever trick to make sure that the 2.5% min is paid off each month or do you have to do the calc each time?

    It's when saddos post provocative stuff on chat boards to inflame other users, that isn't the case here, the OP was genuinely interested in peoples' views.

    I agree,most definately not the case here,it's not very nice however for anyone to be called a troll and should be avoided at all costs on these boards IMO:xmassign:

    Simple trick - you pay by Direct Debit.

    There are much trickier things to consider when you want to stooze :rolleyes:

    I recommend you go to stoozing.com where you will find expert information.

    Actually the calculation is done by the card companies. They advise you how much to pay and the DD will ensure it is paid in time. :)

    The card issuers know all about stoozing.
    They are looking to attract customers - who may then form a long term relationship or buy other products (just having a profile on a customer is worth something). For the 0% transaction they are hoping that the stoozer will make a mistake and go over the interest free period or be unable to pay back at the end.

    From the stoozers point of view there is a small profit to be made but the risk is that charges will be incurred as above.
    As in most things you are accruing profit for effort and risk.

    When I started I was cautious as I didn't think it sounded plausible but everything seems ok - although I've only had to pay 2 off so far.
