If you want to use the mbna card to transfer to your overdraft, do mbna count this as a balance transfer or a money transfer?
I have just applied for the card but skipped the transfer question as wasnt sure if money transfer had the same deal that the site mentions!
Does anyone know??0 -
Hi!
I paid off my BT credit card last month so I have just cancelled it. I believe the BT card is part of the MBNA family of cards.
My question is, can I apply for the Virgin card having just cancelled my BT card?
Cheers

Just to let you know I applied for this card but was unsuccessful. It didnt say why but I would get a letter confirming that I had been unsuccessful, which I have not received.0 -
I have an agreed overdraft with the bank of £3500, I also have a virgin credit card. Virgin are currently offering 6.9% till 14th October to transfer to bank accounts with a 2.98% charge. Virgin told me that after 14th October my interest rate would be a staggering 21.9%. I assumed it would be 18.9%. Has anyone else come across this problem and why are interest rates on credit cards so high?0
