Credit Card Freebies

Churchboy_2

I applied for the MBNA card because of the 2 free watches deal and on application did a transfer - but like Steve48 not had them delivered. Just asked them why and was told i had to make a purchase using the card not just balance transfer - and if I did make a purchase I would accrue interest on the balance I had transfered unless I paid it off this month.

So I told them I wanted the watches or I'll transfer out to Barclaycard - they are coming back to me - I'll let you know....

Good post Jason, just had a look.  Shame both me and the other half have an account with them, got £25 each for opening but never used it.  Must get round to closing it!

Steve, I have MBNA card got a few months ago. Never bought anything - buy stuff with another cash back card. Only used MBNA to transfer to till the 0% offer finishes. Received my two watches very quickly - so go back and tell them they are incorrect.

An update on the Mint Card.   Mint say that the 50% of credit limit max on money transfer is forever.  The remaining 50% is reserved for purchases.

Really?!  I BT'd 100% of my mint credit limit onto my Egg card to pay it off so the Egg card is nice and clear for me to take advantage of teh anniversary offer!

I'd try them again.

First Direct are offering a free half case of wine (thats 6 bottles) when you apply for a First Direct credit card.

Offer is available through this link here:  http://www.firstdirect.com/creditcards/creditcard_wine_CC027.shtml

Also offering 0% for 6 months. Wine offer ends 31st August.

The link leads to their standard application form. Was there a promo code with the mailing?

To answer my own question - it's possible to get to some affiliate sites showing the link by googling for :

"first direct credit card" wine.

If you do this, some sort of FD cookie checker comes up in your history and the prompt for a promo code isn't shown on the application when you click through to it.

Samuela66,
Have you received the wine or any promise/indication that the wine is coming? I have a bank account with FD so hesitate ...
