Mint Conditions

Can you help me? (I am a stoozer wannabee).

I have received the terms and conditions for a Mint Credit Card following my application.

It states:

For purchases (including 'Transfer and Save'* and cheques) for the first 7 months from account opening, we charge 0.00%

.........Fine, but then it states:

* For each 'Transfer and Save' and cheque transaction debited during the first 3 months from the account opening we will charge you 2% of the transferred amount.

So does this mean that the stoozing could only occur AFTER the first 3 months - and be for the remaining 4 months? Is this the standard Mint conditions - or have they changed?

    Your premise is correct, although last time I checked there was a £40 maximum fee - has this now been removed & there is no max??

    Thanks for your comments.

    One thing I have picked up from the forums is that you MUST read the small print. As I haven't yet stoozed (awaiting Virgin card and my Egg anniversary) Mint was the first one through - and I decided to read the conditions carefully.

    Yes there is the £40 max.

    The fee is only for the first 3 months. It is quite an intricate and detailed condition - especially trying to decode in the (literally) very small print.

    I decided to bin it.
