Mint...

anyone know if they are ever going to have offers on cards again?

I am holding an empty card with limit of £8.400 in the hope they have 0% offer again... is this likely to happen or am i waiting in vain??

    Yes I have asked them! I keep ringing every 2 weeks (every time I ring, they tell me an offer should be on the account within 2 weeks).

    I think you have been a bit sharp with me.

    Hi there,

    Unfortuatly most lenders are being very strict with their limits / offers at the moment, blame the crunch!!!

    Best of luck and advise us if you get a deal

    don't hold your breath.

    this time last year they were touting some very nice LOB deals so I filled up on that...my credit limit was well used, after about 6 payments when there was some breathing space that I could have used, had they seen fit to make any offers, they cut the limit "because they cared about me" or other such words....

    really, I think they'll not be offering anything for some time.

    other banks are quiet too....I used to get inundated with offers - those that are still ok with BTs are sometimes just doing it at their normal rates.....

    not a good time to be a tart....

    Aye Mint seem to be slow with offers.
  • Sorry if you thought I was sharp but I fail to see what posters on here can do for you when Mint themselves won't offer you a deal.

    It was just a simple question! I'm not expecting anyone on here to magically wave their wand and give me a 0%, I just wondered if anyone was getting offers from Mint, or knew of anything coming up
