The article mentions MBNA'S deals for new customers, however it omits the fantastic repeat offers that MBNA are renowned for offering existing customers. The credit card savvy will be sad to see them go. Those who have been stung by their cat and mouse tactic of raising interest rates for customers with no where to move their balance to will be glad to see the back of them.
I played them at their game and won for many years.0 -
Woah, these are big players in the credit card market.
This is bad news for tarts and stoozers.0 -
Barclaycards next purchase? Combined with EGG customers I think they will just about rule the CC market in the UK if they did.0

100% with this, in my experience the repeat offers are second to none.0 -
Didnt MBNA purchase Conran card and then stop the cashback? Rather pointless business model buying customers and then losing them by removing the one thing they had the card for.illegitimi non carborundum0

Apparently they're still doing Virgin cards. They've only pulled their own brand.JimmyTheWig wrote: »Woah, these are big players in the credit card market.
This is bad news for tarts and stoozers."It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis0 -
My Chase Manhattan Visa Card turned into GiroBank; then Alliance & Leicester; then MBNA, all without any action from me. So what's next? Chameleon Card??0

All the application links on the MBNA website still appear to be working
some pages starting https://www.euapplyonlinenow.com/ are not , although the AA card still is
Irish MBNA application forms still appear to be working
No mention of this on any other news website
perhaps the MSE journo has made a mistake with the press embargo date :think:Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

getting new customers costs lots of money. I guess they are trying to cut their spendings and hope to get a higher valuation from the bidders.
