    If I can't pay off my Aqua card within two months, what'll happen?

    The Aqua card is not one to be owing money on due to the horrendous interest rate,

    Ditch & switch to a 0% BT (even if there is a BT fee) card today.

    Buy an ASDA christmas savings card.

    It'll cost you £139.68 and give you a £150 savings card. That's 7.389%.

    (£4.32 cash back from Aqua, £6 from ASDA)

    However, as with most savings cards, note that balances are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and that you'll receive 0% interest on balances.

    I think the bonus day for Asda is today so although people can still buy savings/gift cards with their Aqua cards, they won't get any extra from Asda.
  • I got the card and spent £4800 on the card over the year to Sept 2013. In the statement of Sept, the added cashback of -£0.10 and made cashback to be 99.90. And in the Oct statement, they gave me cashback of £95( rounding down £5). Anyone else had this experience...? I have complained about it though.

    September statement has transactions of £494.
    No refund in september.

    Previous cashback £100
    Cashback earned this month £0.10
    Total Cashback earned £99.90

    And so, in October, they gave me £95.

    I'm also on the lookout for ways of boosting my Aqua cashback, and quite like this one.

    Heh, I still have about 90 stamps left from when I bought 100 at 41p each. Might be a good idea to stock up on things like toilet roll, kitchen towel, rice, pasta, etc.

    I'm loving this blitz spirit!

    It seems as if the Nationwide Select Credit Card does everything the new Aqua card does (0.5% cashback, no foreign transaction fee/load), plus it has 0% interest on new purchases for 15 months. So presumably you can earn the cashback plus any savings interest from not paying the balance in full every month for 15 months. Obviously you have to be a Nationwide customer though.

    The Asda card says "Saving up to £144 means a bonus of £6" which means 4.17% ?
