    Right.

    ((coughs embarrassingly....))

    How does the interest actually work???? I have checked over Martins guides etc but cannot find anything that explains it.

    So. My Vanquis card is 39.4%. What does that actually mean???? How is my interest calculated on my card??? If I spend on it and pay it before or in full from the statement then there is no interest, but if I pay the minimum there will be interest next month; but how is this calculated???


    Posted this on the Vanquis thread. Can someone help?

    Now upgraded to HSBC Plus. Also, I asked what my behavior score was and they said my internal score with HSBC was 53. Is that good/bad?...
