Virgin SBT?

Japmark · 9 April 2005 at 8:20AM

I have just received my Virgin CC, and wish to SBT into my current account. According to the T&C's a Cash transaction will incur a 15.9% charge, however, a cheque transaction is 0.0%. I believe I read somewhere that I should write a cheque to myself and cash it in at no cost . Is this correct?

I will have to request for some cheques though as none where sent through witht the card.

Cheers,
Japmark

A SBT is free of charge in your promotional period. I just did one yesterday and was assured that was the case and the 1 i did 2 weeks ago was also free. Writing a cheque WILL incur a 2% charge though.

Cheques will arrive a couple of days after your card, or at least mine did!!

Very very helpful staff on their help line by the way.

How do I perform an SBT from Virgin? if I don't write a cheque to myself, as I cannot find anywhere on there website that can do this to my current account.

You can only do a transfer to your current account by phoning them.

I have applied for my Virgin 0% card - my first ever attempt at stoozing! Still waiting to hear from them. Will I be asked to provide evidence of the 'loan' I want to SBT from?

No, but you may have to answer some extra "general" questions if, like me, you ask them to double their initial credit limit offer. I told them I had an "overdraft" and some "other" debts to settle, and had no trouble at all.

i applied for my virgin0% yesterday. do you get any e-mail confirmation of application or does it all come by post?

It's been a while but I seem to remember it was all done by post.

I didn't hear anything for about 10 days after the on-line application. Received my application form to sign yesterday and returned it this morning. Should receive the card in a few days.
