A new approach for members needs?

Options
There are a lot of questions on this chat forum that appears on a regular basis ( i.e. repeated/similar  questions), mainly from new/newer members.

I was wondering if the Credit Cards section of this chat forum could be sub divided into three sections, namely beginners, intermediates and experts? That way members can give and get the appropriate level of information according to their needs and experiences.
Regards

Mark

    You have a point, systemaddict, and the idea is not a bad one. But not sure how practical it would be to implement it here, given that the underlying information is of a dynamic nature. What with new offers coming and going off, and short lifecycles of the hottest deals, it will only increase the lead time and the probability of missing out on something if one has to trawl through three sections to get to what one wants.

  • We certainly need to consider something as I agree that there are questions that come up regularly. However, new users should really read the Where To Start With Credit Card Questions thread and FAQ's should all be answered there.

    Maybe what we should do is point them to other threads which answer their questions rather than keep typing the same responses over and over, e.g.

    1. Apply for Egg Card
    2. BT from HSBC to Egg
    3. SBT from Overdraft to Egg
    etc etc
