HSBC - Now 6 months 0%

sicker

Hi MattyNeth, I really think if possible you should pay heed to the other posters and go to a branch. As I said earlier I had the same responce as you every time I called but on taking driving licence and current statement to the branch I got the card within days and the balance transfer requested was done there at the branch. It's worth the trip, (make sure they give you the 9 month offer)

Went to local branch today as application form 'lost' three times in post (applied 22 Jan) they phoned up Cust care for me to confirm I will still get 9 months.

Excellent service, all signed and hoping for the card shortly...

Hi,

Can you tell me if HSBC can, after you apply online reduce the term for 0%, I applied online on 11/2/06 and I am almost 100% certain it was at 0% for 9 months, I have had to chase up my application after 2 weeks of waiting for a reply to say whether I had been succesful. When I finally received the papers to sign I noticed it said 6 months at 0%. Are they allowed to reduce this due to me not having signed the papers?

From reading other posts it seems I may be in for a long wait for the card arrrgg. Wish I'd of just gone into the branch now.

Many thanks

PJ

I applied on th 16th feb, seems I might have missed out. Got the paperwork yesterday and it does in fact say 6 months....is it worth persuing for the 9 months?

Finally for my card yesterday. Loan agreement from early Feb stated 9 months 0%, but letter with card said 6 months 0%.

Called up to transfer some balances and rep said it was for 6 months only. After being put through to a manager it was confirmed as 9 months at 0%.

A lovely £2,210 transferred at 0% until 7th December 2005 :-)

Aiming to have that paid off by end of year
