MBNA offers

For a long time now I have consistently received promotion offers from MBNA - 0% purchases, BT's etc. Last month this had dropped to 2 now it's a phone for details scenario. Anyone else found this?

    MBNA is for sale, so they're not out touting for new business or accepting new applications at the mo.
  • MBNA are no longer doing deals etc as there trying to sell themselves.

    That may be your experience, but in my online area is an offer for 13 months 0% on BTs and money transfers for a low 2% fee on my Virgin Atlantic card...just 2 months after I cleared my last £19K money transfer.

    of course they are,if they didnt they`d have a much smaller business to sell due to the "churn"rate

    I have not had any others for about 4 months. However that said I phoned them and over the telephone they offered me 12 months bt at zero percent or 12 months into my bank account with the usual 3 percent fee.

    Phoned them yesterday and they offered 0% BT for 9 mths. I only wanted £1k BT.
    They said it would have been longer for a larger BT, but they eventually offered 12 mths anyway.

    If they make no offers people will leave and the business will be worth less.
