Santander 123 Credit Card 18 -> 23 months 0%

Just to let people know they can do it. I had the Santander 123 Credit Card with the 18 months 0% interest on purchases. Since I saw they now offer 23 months to new clients I called to 01512 648 725 (24h 7d/w) and they increased my 0% period by simply asking.

    For how long have you held the 18 month card?
  • Since March. I actually got it a few weeks before they offered it, so I also had to call to get the 18 months.

    You are free to try. But I meant to extend it for a further (23-18=)5 months.

    Just to let others know I have a 123 cc with Santander only got it 11weeks ago on 18months 0% so I thought I would give it a go to extend it to 23months,


    Firstly the number you give just said for international calls only so I found and used 0800032465 which with a lot of button pressing got me in.


    Despite having eight accounts plus a credit card with them they turned me down point blank so all in all you did well.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    hmmm looks like their balance transfer amount is also at 23 months now with 0% fee.

    Excerpt:

    Purchases

    Spread the cost of your purchases with 0% interest to pay for 23 months from the date of account opening.

    Balance transfers
    Save on interest repayments by transferring your balances from other credit or store cards. You’ll pay 0% interest for 23 months from the date of account opening and there is no balance transfer fee during the introductory period on this card.
