Confirmation of fees free charity cards

FFP

Applied for the Guide dog card

Been on the phone this morning to clarify this 2% fee and it seems they still do it !! He even went away and asked someone else, who confirmed that a 2% fee is charged, capped at £50

Anyone know any different ?

Rubbish!
Recently got the Guide Dog Card. BT done 5th May, no fee. 1st statement now visible online, just the straight min. repayment due. NO FEE

Ask to speak to a supervisor. Check on your personal Ts and Cs. That's what you have agreed to.


On another note, has anyone applied for more than one charity card,or is that not allowed?

Same for me I applied for a Macmillan Cancer Releif card, T&C's said there was but when I rang it was confirmed that there was no balance transfer fee, I just hope that it is ok when I do the transfer

Simply ask as you do the transfer. That's what i always do, regardless of the T&C's stating no fee.

Apparently there are 2 different deals on the charity cards, and the customer services people can tell identify your card by the follow-on interest rate, so have yours to hand if you're calling them up

'no, there are no fee's as it's one of the charity cards'

Just phone HBOS to check that there would be no transfer fee. Was told that there was a 2% Fee. WHen I quoted what the website said he told me that his screen says 2%, if I wish to progress then there would be a transfer fee.

Not sure what to do now.
