Want cheaper rate on Tesco Card?

Just phoned a few cards that I have used on balance transfers over the years to cancel them as no longer required. When I phoned Tesco to cancel their card, straight away they offered to lower the interest rate from 16.9% to 7.9%.

    I'm guessing that may only be a temporary decrease. And it may not occur for everyone. You may end up calling and find out that they do in fact just close your account.

    Although I do believe there may be a grace period if you do want to reopen the account.
