spending on Amazon credit card

tee_pee_2

I hvae just got an Amazon credit card and done my BT and all is well. But as I want the £15 voucher I need to spend on it,............. But not sure if I will get in a mess because of thje BT and the leaflet they have given my doesn't answer my question.

Will my spending also be 0%

Spending is at 0% for the first 6 months on the current offer - of cause this may have changed since when you got the card.

...which means you'll have to repay the BT before the end of the 0% on purchases end date to avoid the interest charge on ALL your purchases from DAY 1.

Nice gimmick isn't it?...A free £15 voucher and they make it back (and more) because people get caught out due to the different introductory 0% period durations!!

A bit late for you but what you should do is make a small purchase to get the voucher and then repay it immediately. You should then do the BT.

you'll probably need to chase them for the £15 voucher as well , there's a few posts on here and most of us didn't get them till we complained

I found I had to chase them a lot for the first two vouchers but the 3rd came through OK. They send it after the billing date of your latest statement. So if you earn enough points at the beginning of the month you won't get processed until your statement date on the 31st (just example dates). Add 10 days or so to be processed and that's when you should get the voucher.

Thanks for that- I have BT £1700 not sure I would be able to pay off in 6mths. I have def done things the wrong way round.

will know better next time.

you could make a very small purchase in a shop like say one stop and you could use your card for 22p and then you get the £15 voucher but you will have to pay interest on the 22p.

YEs I know it is a small amount but some shops dont have a min so it minimizes the interest charged,.

Unless they have more than one £15 voucher offer, 22p might not be enough...

With our loyalty programme, use your Amazon.co.uk MasterCard and earn:

- 1 point for every £1 spent at any Amazon website
- 0.5 points for every £1 spent elsewhere
- When you have earned 1500 points, you will receive a £15 Amazon gift certificate to spend at Amazon.co.uk.

The sign up offer for the first free £15 voucher was simply to get the card and then to spend anything on it. Or at least it was when I signed up not that long ago, rather than the ongoing offer you mention here.
