    IA - have you applied for the alliance and Leicester premier account on Quidco. £50 for opening the account + you get a linked savings account which pays 12% interest!:p

    You could put all your CTC and CB into there and earn a bit of interest on it!
    Premier is just another spelling for 'no ia's'.... :rotfl:

    WHat are you going to do when you have paid off the CCs? Can you overpay on your car finance after that? If not how long until that will be gone and you are 100% debt free? how exciting!!!!

    Don't know why not! I got one! And I am crap. They do have another account which is not premier and that pays £50 too. Its worth a try! They can only say no!

    PS Can I just ask for a bit of good luck Karma from you lot, cos my 17 year old daughter is on her driving test as we speak and she is bleeding me dry with driving lessons! I am not sure I can take the tension here on my own

    Good idea Sammy - I tried that and the boogers wouldn't let me have one!!

    Ohh for a nice and healthy credit score :rolleyes:

    Sar ~ I am earmarking my CB earnings for Christmas and thanks to the loverly *hamper threads* I should be able to cover everything with it :grin:

    With nearly £600 and your above workings if you did the same you should be CC free with a fantastic Christmas to boot ~ and no-one deserves it more :grin::grin:

    Thing is I've been applying for all and sundry through cashback sites and keep getting declined so my credit rating will be battered at the moment!!! That's why I think I won't get one lol. I've not even heard back from vanquis yet! lol Probably a good thing though... :P

    That's what I'm thinking of doing.. having the cashback money as christmas money.. I really want us to be able to have a fab christmas.. last year was really really tight and I'd love to just be able to splurge and buy Ste and the girls something special without the retribution.. :rotfl:
