A store card was a GREAT idea! You get special invitations to customer nights! WOW! And save a whole 10%! (even though the APR was 29.9%...)

Now turning this one round a little. When we all become debt free with our new responsible attitude to credit and spending, would a store care not be a good move in terms of money saving? If you pay the £50 for a pair of jeans at the end od the month you dont get hit with the hefty APR???

Is it not a bit like being a recovering addict though? One purchase and you remember how nice and easy it can be and then you are on the slippery slope?!:eek:

Lenny,
Honestly? I cannot EVER see myself getting any form of credit again. I think it would be like the'just one small sip' to an alcoholic or 'just the one puff' to a ex-smoker. Good idea in principle tho...
How's little man? (and I am NOT talking about your you-know-what!)

Yes, or accepting the hgiher credit card limit offer... having £1500 limit maxed out at 14.99% then being offered a £2000 limit at 19.99% and thinking you've done the best deal ever, and got another £500??
