    6 years from the date of the transaction.
    Until it is debited to your account treat it as a free loan.

    Crikey that could be a pain to budget for then!

    Depending on the card/account used there may be a hefty fee charged as well...when the transaction finally shows up.

    Better to use a Maestro card or cash first obtained over the counter (unless you have a Nationwide account?).
