    That's a pretty efficient service !

    PS. I went through TopCashback as they are currently the highest payers (£15.60) for the PO Card and it tracked almost immediately.


    To add to my post yesterday - Card arrived today Sat 16th along with internet ID / Pin etc but in seperate envelopes. The card itself was in a hardback handwritten envelope within another envelope so you would never have guessed it actually contained the card. Obviously a security measure to disguise the fact a credit card is contained within, so well done to the PO / Bank of Ireland.

    Can I just ask if the balance transfer makes up a large propotion of that credit limit. Excuse the question but when I applied for mine, my credit limit was exactly the same as the balance transfer I had requested. Just wondering if I could have got more
  • I had a balance of £4500 which is more than enough for me.
