I've had a Barclaycard for yonks (like 23 years). I usually pay-in-full-ish, so interest rates dont really bother me apart form the occassional "fine". but I was stunned to see on a statement that my rate was 19.9% (higher than ANYTHING they advertise on their site). I called up and played the "23 year" card. My rate now.....
6.9%!
Get in!
Bless 'em. I'm now a very happy customer.
Thx to Martin for putting the idea in my head.

You shouldn't have to phone the crooks up. How many people don't notice that their interest rate has been increased to a level that would make the local loan shark blush?Krusty & Phil Madoff, 1990 - 2007:
