    A lot cards now, if you make a late payment rescind the LOB rate, so you are probably paying the standard rate:cool:

    then there's no harm in ringing up and politely ask for them to reconsider. They can only say no! :D

    One late payment would not amount to a "default"
    May I ask which credit card is involved?

    Credit Card companies do reserve the right to withdraw any promotional offers if you make a late payment.You could write to them explaining it was a one off and you paid the late fees and asking them to re-instate the offer as a gesture of goodwill.
