    Hi there
    Has anybody ever had one of these credit cards?

    Simple query really - I'm looking at getting one of these cards as they are 0% interest on purchases for 12 months - going to America soon and was hoping to use it there, however have noted on the product details under 'Fees & Charges' it has 'Foreign Exchange - 2.75% EU, 2.75% NON EU' - now as the transactions will be in dollars if I use it over there, does that mean they will charge this 2.75% fee for each transaction?

    Sorry if this seems a silly question :confused:

    Yes it does. If you have 12 months interest free buy travellers cheques to qualify for 0% for 12 months. Ergo, no 2.75% fee??

    Be careful if you're applying for this and you already hold a Natwest or RBS card with a high limit - they may give you a low limit on the Tesco one.
    CannyJock- how did you go about your appeal?

    Successful with increased limit up to £10,000. I've already got £10,550 with RBS on Natwest and Ulster cards, not sure if that's still a factor with Tesco.

    Took 2 letters confirming income - well, one letter confirming income and second letter detailing why further confirmation would not be forthcoming :)

    Got a letter back confirming approval, limit and apologising for the inconvenience caused with details of their complaints procedure if I was not satisfied with their apology :)
