The AA changes gear to ‘neutral’ on new credit card

Same MBNA payment hierarchy that's been on the other MBNA cards for a while I think (Virgin as example):

Allocation of payments


If you do not pay your balance in full we will use your payments:

• to reduce lower rate balances before higher rate balances.

If introductory rate balances are the same we will repay them as follows:

• the one which expires first; then
• if expiry dates are the same - the one which started first; then
• if the expiry dates, and start dates are the same - the one with the lowest standard rate.

Longer 0% promotions are always welcome, previous MBNA best card for 0% purchases was the Play card with 9 months.

The previous AA card had 12 months 0% but only on motoring and fuel purchases, good to see if that restriction's been removed (same hierarchy I think).

From a stoozing perspective, as there's no BT fee for 0% purchases and you can presumably switch the card limits from other MBNA cards onto this one, there's a profit to be made on this for sure.

You're missing CannyJockIsm - Have a think about it first, then do whatever the hell you think is right - when you're on your deathbed you don't answer to anyone else regardless of what the mass mind-control religions and philosophicies might imply with their superstitions
