    Very disappointed. They are fantastic for promo deals and purchases. I just hope they sale the business to a reputable company like Barclays.

    Thanks for the link. They won't be missed by me after they reduced my credit limit from £15,900 to £1000 over a year ago :cool:

    I've never had any dealings with them. They won't be missed.

    Ghastly company. Good riddance. Had nothing but trouble from them. They don't even know the law pertaining to their own industry.

    I have been with them for a very long time and never once have I experienced any problems. I suppose it could be because I studied carefully their terms and conditions or could it be just luck!

    Also just checked out my Barclaycard promo rates and the longest is 12 months at 0% and a few months ago I had 18 months as an existing customer. Again they have always been brilliant. I suppose it must be just luck!

    Bad news. It will likely reduce choice.

    If / when a takeover happens does this affect the current T's & C's to any existing deal?
