Sky Card - Interest Rate Increase

Hi

Has any other Skycard customers had a letter this week upping the interest rate?

I think the letter says 21.9% now for me. The website is still showing 16.9% for new applicants - variable though.

Is it just me?

I pay the balance off every month so don't get charged but would like to be on a good deal card regardless.

Cheers

Ben

    My card took 7 weeks!

    This is the 2nd time I've had this product, rubbish customer service and online facilities are useless. Never again.

    Good luck receiving your card!

    Hello All, yes like you folks my rate is going up to 19.9 from Oct statement :(
    I cant agree about the online service never had any trouble with it,able to view balance etc and pay via my debit card is also trouble free.

    Ps i dont work for sky card :)

    Regards M

    TBH it should only take a few more days for the card to arrive. Although looking at other peoples experiences it could take longer!
    Just worth phoning them up to see what they say.

    Have you phoned them?
    If so what did they say?
    It really is worth checking and seeing if they have an explanation for the lengthy delay.
