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

I got the weirdest fone call from them, and then nothing ever not even a letter, so don't waste your time :P

They are pretty quick to respond email enquiries: (FTR, I asked if I am eligible for this offer, having a FD current account but no CC account)

I've just signed up for a LloydsTSB Accucard and as I finished the registration, a pop-up informed me of an offer that I thought was worth sharing.

If I refer a friend, according to the conditions all that is required is for both of us to make a purchase (no minimum spend indicated) and we each get a multi-region DVD player. The brand isn't mentioned but it appears to be a full-size remote controlled unit. 8)

There appears to be one other condition, in that both applicants have to be accepted for the gift to be sent. The pop-up had a referral code to enter in a box provided on the registration page, and a note to explain that each applicant will be aware of the friend's acceptance.

Seems OK, but I'm sure there will be a catch... ::)

I recently applied for both a First Direct cheque account and credit card together and they told me I am eligible for a free flight and a couple of nights acommodation. Europe or west coast USA. I'll post more details when I get the paperwork.

Ryanair is offering, on top of the free flight for taking out their card, a free flight for every five you buy (and use) but there are only a limited number of seats that can be used on each plane. Anyone had any experience of this?

I opened an Egg card account about 8 months ago, to take advantage of the 0% for 6 months offer. I have since transferred the balance to a Halifax card (0% for 9 months) but am keeping my Egg account open - not for the promise of 6 months 0% BT on the anniversary of opening the account, but because of the excellent 'Egg Money Manager' facility.

Once set up (and it DID take a lot of ringing round the various financial institutions with whom I share my debt!) it displays my credit card balances (Egg AND Halifax), mortgage (Nationwide), bank accounts (First Direct) and any other loans/savings accounts etc with other organisations all on one page. It stores all my electronic passwords in what they refer to as a password safe, and automatically logs me in as necessary. It's brilliant ;D, and has helped me to organise my finances in a logical way.

First Direct are also offering a similar facility, but to be honest it took so long to set up the Egg site (with all the various passwords, mother's maternal grandparents' place of birth etc etc) that I can't be bothered - if it ain't broke, don't fix it (but I would be interested to hear of anyone who has used the First Direct version)

I need a balance transfer for approx 6months, would love a freebie but tried joiming virgin which is run by mbna, cant balance transfer between 2 mbna accounts.

so is there any more which offer similar freebies.



also does the balnce transfer have to be in one lump sum or a couple of different transfers?

thanks

Why not BT to your current account (MBNA allow this) then just pay off the credit card from there?

call me mr thicky but i dont see the benefit, i want the 6 months free credit.


ooh and a nice freebie would be good.

thanks anyway
