Tesco 0% on New Purchases Previous Customer

hans_76

Quick question if anyone knows the answer.

I previously had a Tesco cred card and enjoyed the 0% interest free period then closed the account. How long do you think I could leave it before applying for a new 0% account?

Would be handy if MSE had a list of Credit cards / Bank accounts and how long after the account is closed whether you can then reapply as a new customer

Thanks in advance for anyone who knows

I closed mine a few weeks ago and was told without asking that I could not apply again for 6 months.

I re-applied for a Halifax Card after 2 years and was accepted as a new customer.

I currently am using a tesco card but l am paying it off each month now as my 15 month interest free period ended some months back. Do l have to close the account to get another one with the interest free period, or will they give me it on the card l have currently.

You have to clear the balance, close the account and then wait 8 months before applying for a new one.
