Tesco credit card balance transfer

41_and_i_know_it

I applied successfully for a Tesco cc 9 days ago and bal transferred £600 from Halifax Clarity cc. Activated my card few days ago, they've got my phone no and email address but said they couldn't get hold of me, so I rang them, turns out Halifax returned my balance transfer but they couldn't tell me why anyhow I looked at my Halifax balance and I only had £535 on cc, so transferred £520 which was accepted. Why didn't they tell me this when I rang up the other day with log-in probs and other questions. Never mind all sorted now transfer cost £15 fee and due to be paid 0% July 2014. Pheww.

You could always ask for £15 to be credited as goodwill lol

Good for interest free period, after that every purchase or transfer will incur a charge, and cash options will incur a handling fee and then interest again on that fee. Very dodgy.

And your point, most (virtually all) credit card work like this.

How so? I have a Tesco Finest Platinum Visa CC and have never been charged for a purchase.

Nor me, and every 3 months they send me some vouchers to say thank you for them not having charged me a penny in interest either 'cos I pay it off every month.
