Can you remove this advertisement twaddle on Halifax online?

I don't have this on mine, but the missus has it on her online account & wants it removed if possible. I've arrowed the offending articles...

    Unless it takes 24hours to action the change, it doesn't seem to have made a difference, plus i don't remember having to do that for mine.

    ...but be aware the "guaranteed credit card" offers may also disappear from the right hand side too?

    The offers on the right hand side aren't the annoyance, it's the stuff in the middle separating the accounts - specifically the upgrade notice.

    You have to Logoff and then back in again for it to take effect. Doesn't take 24hrs - and it does work, provided you select the right options.

    So that's a downside then (which was my earlier inference), bearing in mind your slow-stoozing interest...unless you've stopped now?

    Not really IMO.

    My gf doesn't really like credit cards as she knows she doesn't have the willpower to make it work most effectively. She has 2 i think, which are used for big payments only (car tax, insurance, wedding ring was just purchased). All little spends are on her debit card as she feels she can control her spends better that way.

    Whatever stops her spending as much works for me!!

    As far as it goes for me - i have a sainsburys C/C which has been maxed. I have a Santander C/C which offers their 1%2%3% which the family use. Mainly my mum, but it only gets used on what the offers are - supermarkets & petrol stations. We have no dept stores here. It gets paid back instantly.
    And i have a M&S C/C with a 4k limit which should see me right for some time, as unlike the missus, i'm not a big spender.

    There is also enough in the bank to comfortably pay all cards off today if we wished. but they'll be paid off just before the 0% ends.

    So in short, my missus doesn't want any more cards & i don't need any more, even if they're guaranteed.
