    Hung up my suit!
    Anyway, I just spoke to Tesco and they have waived one 12 quid fee but adamantly refuse to waive any more despite my protestations and my threats to cancel the card, so this episode has cost me 24 quid. That's life !!
  • I would be more worried about your credit file than £24

    Have they removed the 19 months interest free as well?

    I've just paid off the full debt and will now do that every month. I only really wanted the card for convenience and had no debts to transfer anyway, so not really bothered about the 19 months.

    I've missed payments before by being abroad for extended periods and I've never had issues with getting new cards etc, as I have overall a good credit record. This blip won't make much difference IMO. ;)

    So careless is this thread, I thought someone was trolling whilst reading through.

    Internet works but due to security issues I'm not sure you can just go in and view somebody's statement, even my own, without jumping through hurdles. The main reason I took the card was because I am a Tesco customer and already had a clubcard which is used every time alongside a credit card. The Tesco clubcard does the whole transaction using just one card, so more convenient IMO. ;)


    I check , move money around and pay bills through internet banking when im abroad

    Tesco's charging summary clearly states that the minimum payment will always be no less than £25, so even if you are somehow unable to use the internet or a telephone abroad you knew your minimum payment was going to be £25 at the very least, not £5, before you signed up to the card (you DID read their card details/charging before applying for the card, of course?)

    They didn't catch you out. You messed up all on our own.
