Start of the tarts

I discovered an old letter today that indicates how much things have changed.

It dates from Aug 95 and states:

"I am pleased to confirm that we are making the following payments (Transfer of £1550) The 5% refund will show on a following statement".

They paid me 5% to transfer my balance to them, :beer: :j how sweet that was. Can we go back to that now? Was this the start of the balance transfer market?
