Barclaycard 0% for life - missed a Paypal payment!!!

ALERT!!!

I've had 3 years of interest free payments to my Barclaycard thanks to this board :money:
However, the terms were that I needed to spend £1 a month on the card to keep it at 0%. I did this through a £1 Paypal payment to MSE.

I've just got my latest statement and the Paypal payment hasn't gone through!!!
I've still got a balance and now I'm being charged interest!!!

Has anyone else had a problem with this recently???


PLEASE CHECK YOUR STATEMENTS!!!

    Remember that you will just charged interest on the life-of-balance at 0.561% (6.9pa) and it should revert to 0% again next month. Also the 'interest on the interest' will remain at 0% in future if you use the card as normal each month

    Yes, I'm on a similar offer too - 0% for life as long as I make a purchase of at least 1p on my card each month. - I do it through Paypal too.

    Again, I have to make sure I remember each month - and that I don't have a Paypal balance, otherwise it comes from that instead of the card.

    Thanks

  • Have you had any success in finding out why the payment shave stooped? There have been other postings and one has set up a £1 to another charity.
