    Play safe and give them a ring. Otherwise could be short term gain for long term pain!

    What card is this?
    £5 min payment is a feature of MBNA-managed cads during introductory 0% period.

    Probably it was their mistake and they just corrected it now. Read your T&C ...
    Also, the first payment can include the BT fee.
