Has the MBNA gravy train stopped?

Well for the first time in 5 years I don't have any money at 0% on one of my 4 MBNA cards.

At first it was balance transfers but then they started introducing transfer fees so I just used the 0% purchases.

Now I've just paid back my last card and no more offers are coming in (apart from balance transfers with fees)

Good job M&S have come up trumps!

    Spoke too soon.

    In the last 3 days I've had 0% purchase offers from 2 MBNA cards and the Virgin (MBNA) card. Purchases made before end of june and 0% til October/July depending on amount spent.

    Not sure I can spend £24,000 in 3 months though!

    How about paying for a year's electricity in advance? Scottish Power give a 5% discount if you do. You could certainly swallow a couple of grand if you did this for gas as well.

    thats a thought. I'm with Scottish power already though - not sure how long I'm tied in to my present deal.
