Managing CC Online

I currently have a Barlcaycard, Egg card and a Mint card and would like to move the 3 balances to one card on an interest free period.

However i really don't want statements coming each month through the post as my OH doesn't know about the debt on them. :o

I wanted to go for the Virgin card as it has the longest period (had one before but the account was inactive for so long they closed it in July 2009).

Can you stop paper bills coming with Virgin and just do everything online?
If not are there any online only cards with a balance transfer deal.

I don't get bills for any of the above cards as i manage them all online.

  • Yes you can manage a Virgin card paperless online, you'll get an email whenever a new statement is issued, and you can pay by debit card on their website if you wish - when you get your card you'll just need to register on their website, and opt out of paper statements
  • That's fantastic thank you. I did that with Barclaycard and they text me when my statement is available.

    If OH asks about the initial post i get with the card in etc i will just claim it is a Virgin mix up as he knows i had a card with them a while ago! I do hate being sneaky but i really really can't tell him this time.
  • Far be it from me to give relationship advice, but having been down the "hidden debt" route (being on the receiving end), I'd urge you tell him and deal with it together.
