Post Office Credit Card Online Payment?

elm

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I can't find anything...

I recently got a Post Office Platinum credit card to use abroad and have used it already to pay for accommodation and flights. I've logged into the site to pay it off and can't find anywhere to do so. Has anyone else got a Post Office credit card that can advise me?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've never had a credit card before, so I haven't got a clue!

There is no way to pay your bill online through their own website...or over the telephone come to that matter.

The only way to pay is either post them a cheque, over the counter at a bank or the post office or by faster payment from your own bank account to sort code 90-39-20 a/c 99943016 quoting your 16 digit card number as the reference. Or there is Direct Debit.

Great, thanks!

Their website is appalling - it can often give misleading information, for example telling you there is no balance when there is. Use with care. Once you get used to it it's not so bad.

I've found their call centres great though. I often have to call them when the card gets blocked overseas. They also do some reasonable BT offers too.

Yes, I've already encountered the missing balance!

Why haven't you set up a direct debit, at least for the minimum?

Er why should the OP?

As I said, I've never had a credit card before, so I'm not really sure of the best way of paying it off. Is this the best way? I will be paying it off in full every time.

Yes, setting up a DD is the best way if you want to pay in full each month.

Call them up and make sure you say you want to pay in full. You will need your bank account number, sort code and address.

Be aware that it probably won't be set up in time to pay this months statement so you will have to pay that manually, eg at the Post Office counter.

Anyone know their application criteria? I've got the usual bank account and mobile for several years showing greens plus a credit card with £500 limit...

Do you think I'd get one?
