What could it be?!

Dear pianoplayer

Can't work out just where the months have gone to this year? Neither can we! We could all use something of a pick-me-up at this time of year to combat those winter blues.



That's why we're giving you advance notice that you will be receiving details of a very special offer in your inbox tomorrow, so watch this space!


Love from MBNA

    I take it that it's this... ?

    Summer has come and gone without so much of a flicker of sunshine and the
    long winter nights are fast approaching. But that's no reason to feel blue!

  • Yes that's what I got. I scoured the text for "and 0% for 12 months" but couldn't find anything of the sort! Doesn't really do so much to combat the winter blues to be honest..

    No bt fee but think the rate they are offering me is 5.9 until June 08. However this was advertised rate pre this email anyway. I assume the only difference is there is no fee to pay.

    there is no promo rate (unless you have one laready) - just no fee. Just makes lots of work for my colleagues .........
    No Longer works for MBNA as of August 2010 - redundancy money will be nice though.

    already had a June08 0% offer on my account, which I had phoned up and asked about a reduction in the 3% fee a few days ago , which they would not do .. so this was timely offer, to earn some interest on MBNAs money for 8 months
