OK So I bank with
Barclays
TSB
Nationwide
Barclaycard

Got email from TSB (Legit) saying they can give me
TSB Platinum with
0% interest on purchases for up to the first 20 months
0% interest for up to the first 20 months on balances transferred within the first 90 days

A Balance Transfer fee of 2.95% applies. 2.00% will be refunded within 60 days, so you only pay 0.95% overall with balances transferred within the first 90 days.

also they said they pre approved me and just need to confirm if i can afford my repayments...

should I keep my barclaycard or get this credit card.... instead

I feel like I only need one credit card

    Who knows! Why not list all the benefits of your Barclaycard (like you have with the TSB card) and give us half a chance to advise?


    Then again, if you did that you wouldn't need any advice, because the answer would be staring you straight in the face!

    One credit card is enough, if you have multiple credit cards it is most unwise.

    Many people soon find themselves starting to struggle and it turns into a rolling ball of snow.

    Keep both.

    When you get stranded and your first card stops working you'll find out why.

    Many also have multiple credit cards and the only rolling, ever-increasing ball of snow is their stooze pot interest.

    Apply for it. See if you get it. Keep the Barclaycard.

    It all depends on how you use your credit cards, are you even going to balance transfer? Do you pay your card off in full when bill comes? Are you planning on spending for 20/3 months and banking that money?

    And why do you want a free credit report?
