I was stupid, was obviously 5 years ago now, I have changed since then, and I would never get myself into those circumstances again, every bit of credit I have at the mo is paid on time

haha, no, when I moved to Spain, I took the phone with me, and used it, was silly, but at that time I thought I would be in Spain for years

Thanks buddy, I wonder where my email is

I didn't get an email from Barclaycard, despite including my addy in the online application -

I found out the limit early by doing something VERY risky - I called to ask the limit and they said they can't tell me until the card arrives and it's activated and I said it's already arrived I just don't have it to hand - so they activated it whilst it was still in the post and told me £1,150 -

Stupid impatient thing to do on my part, could've been swiped by the postie and I wouldn't have a leg to stand on but thankfully it didn't :beer:

HSBC, Citi & Bank of Ireland all asked me for the end date and full card number prior to allowing me to activate it - maybe Barclays are just amateurs.... :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'd never have blagged that, come to think of it activating debit cards sometimes ask for the expiry date - HSBC do (but you do that online) however BoC asked me for the security code on the back and the full card number

Remember we're talking about Barclaycard here - offshore, barclays group, what more is to be said?

You know NID, when I worked in the debit card section of a major bank, we didnt have access to the CVV number? even though we asked it was to try and catch the 'customer' out!
