    Woah, yea but by then i'd hope to have a HSBC one and would hate to think i'll need the dreaded V - although to be fair they did give me my big break after HSBC so I won't do em for unenforceability - i'll clear the account then close it ! LOL

    Thanks!

    I spend about £200 per month on petrol and takeaways/meals only. pay off minimum by DD and then send one or two payments via bill payment option of say £100 then another £80 toward the end of the month so in effect I have about £20 left each month and pay about £2 interest which is fine for the method i'm testing.

    With citicard I just pay the minimum and with BOI I clear it in full so between my 3 cards i'll soon see which works best between paying in full/min payment or mixture of both with a balance outstanding each month so they are making money from me....

    does that make any sense? lol, it does in my head but trying to type it is harder! :confused:
