    I've just receieved my card and activated by getting the 0800 number from "SayNoTo0870" after applying just after Martin's email. Spoke to someone in Customer Services who confimed that I will get the £50 voucher if I spent £500 by Xmas!!!

    :T
  • No one would confirm it for me.

    But going to try it anyway as i know i applied when the offer was open. Only got to spend £500 and as I use them for work expenses and then claim them back, it shouldn't be too hard.

    Got a free Ipod from them (eventually) for opening a current account, so will see what I can get for free here!

    We have received our pin numbers but no cards yet nearly two weeks after applying. Whole thing is so slow. Will endeavour to spend £500 somewhere if we ever get the cards

    This link still takes you to the deal. Found it last week well after the deal had supposedly been pulled. If you fancy the 12 month 0% anyway, may be worth a punt to make a £500 purchase, pay off, then insist you used a link you'd saved in favourites.

  • Unfortunately the link is dead, takes you to the initial application page, but doesn't allow you to apply. Shame
    I do hope you're telling the truth?

    Hi
    I've just gone via the link again, and clicked the lower of the "apply now" boxes, and it went through to the next page, where you accept the t&cs and say where you heard about the card (obviously put "browsing online"). Then clicking "request your card" at least goes to the beginning of the applcation.

    I got my cards yesterday and already started spending. Got an email today that said the following:-

    If you spend £500 by 25 December 2006 and your account is in good order‚ you will receive a confirmation letter from Citi Cards in the first week of January 2007 on how to choose your £50 voucher from a selection of around 30 high street retailers. Voucher Express supply the vouchers.

    At least this is quite clear and you don't have to wait long for the voucher. I need lots of petrol and shopping tomorrow so that should help.

    My bad (or rather my Browser - didn't like Firefox) anyhow have applied, now have to wait & see if anything turns up in the post.

    Thanks for the savvy saving of the link ;)
    I do hope you're telling the truth?
  • Just received a letter in the post today giving me a code to claim my voucher!!! Yippee, and the voucher express website lets you mix and match what vouchers you want. Bring on the sales!!!

    Just received my letter as well today and ordered my voucher. Looks like it was a good deal. Haven't had the Christmas CC bill yet!
