  • Other than the 3% the card doesnt seem to offer much more

    Possibly not, but the 3% is why everybody is using it (for now).

    Course you can. I'm getting 3% cashback on my Morgan Stanley at the minute but when the promotion ends i will be ditching it.

    I'm up to £3,900 atm (after 4 months usage) but might go over next month as I need to get some Christmas stuff. Will post back with the results unless someone else has already passed the 5k mark and beats me to it ;).
    I've just purchased a bathroom which will take me ovrer the 5k mark. I suppose 3% would be too good to be true. We'll see.
  • Hi,

    I'm trying to find out if this card offer is still available - I can't see it on their site though. Does anyone know?

    Cheers,

    Muzzy.
  • I don't think it is. I have one, and got a mailing today from GE offering me another (good database management there!) - no mention whatsoever of any cashback!

    Was pulled a good few weeks back.
  • This card was withdrawn some time back now. I think there was a quota to fill and they seemed to have stricta and very strange aplication criteria. I know of high earners with a faultless credit record being declined this card yet me who has never had a credit card until now and are'nt on megga megga bucks was approved. Although I applied in August I receievd my card 18 November as they didnt receiev my original signed agreement but still honoured the offer of 3%. I used it for the first time today in ASDA and it seemed to work fine on the self service checkout! I have arranged additional cards for my mum and dad as you can have 3 additional cards so GE told me. I will also use it to pay for my Council Tax each month, Sewer Bill, Internet Bill and Insurance as I think you get 0.5% cashback. Seems like a nice card to have - while the 3% is active!
