    In the paperwork sent nothing mentioned this though which I feel is a little cheeky!

    Of course they did - just look at the answer to Question 8 of the scanned document in post 1985

    Having said that if most of your cc spend is in the UK, there are other cash back cards which pay more than 0.5%..

    I don't remember getting such a letter but I presume I must of - I take it back!

    Still pretty sharp though!

    Paying my rent in part instalments using my card. Should complete the transaction before Wednesday. Unfortunately there's a 2% surcharge for using a credit card so I'll only get 1% back, but £22 is still £22.

    Doing the same for large gas bill (1.5% surcharge) and water bill. :)

    Seems like a good choice - I sent mine in 3 weeks before you and it doesn't seem to have been done yet:/

    <cough>One option I am considering is part of a family member's income tax bill - 1.4% :p</cough>

    Because of the poor response to the so called new card they have extended the date to apply for a new card to 7th February 2014. You don't actually get a new card but carry on with your old card the only difference is you now get 0.5% interest. After the 22nd January there will be about 3 days when you wont be able to use the card while they sort their systems out.

    I was going to sign up for the new card because of the no foreign currency transaction fees, but saw that the Post Office credit card also has no fees, plus £40 cashback through TCB.

    Still, this was a nice card while it lasted...
