Can someone please post the link?

Thanks

    Thanks CHIHUAHUA

    Any idea what the best card is to use?

    I have a top credit history and would be able to get any card out there.

    thanks again

    CHIHUAHUA Be careful with Ulster Bank. The last I heard they were about to start charging a balance transfer fee.

    Hi thanks for the warning! - asked Yorkshire about this and they promised not to charge one even though it's mentioned in the blurb that came with the card as a 2% fee - the person i spoke to said they would also put a note on my account to make sure if they made a mistake that it would be refunded automatically but was 99% sure this would not be the case - thanks for the warning about the Ulster - will check with them if i get the card - if not it will be a sad waste of an application but hey ho!:rolleyes2

    CHIHUAHUA, Hi again CH. (see your still on line). Ive just applied by phone (08003896299) for the Halifax smart card and been accepted. Up to 10 days for paper work then further 10 days for card. I thought my stoozing days were over.

    Hi John - thanks for the tip - that one was on my list ! - don't want to apply for too many at once though as have applied and been accepted for YB and Egg in the last 3 weeks - none before that for a few months.
    Do you think its worth trying for a 3rd - could always let Ulster go as have a postal application for them
    also anty hassle on the phone or was it an easy call?
    thanks for tip and advise
