Halifax H2X Card - Replacment Card Offer

Apologies in advance if this has already been posted, but couldn't find anything.

Thought people might like to know that it seems Halifax are replacing their H2X card (Internet servicing only card from 2002, 10.9% APR) with their new Halifax Mastercard.

I've just received a letter and they're offering:

- 9 months 0% interest on purchases until 31st July 08
- 9 months 0% interest on BTs. 3% BT fee and must be transferred by 5th Jan 08.

I know the H2X card had a low take up initially, as they sent a research company round and gave me £30 cash for my opinions back in 2002, so there may not be many around gathering dust!
Back on the DFW Wagon:

CC - £3,300 on 0% til 04/2020
CC - £4,500 on 0% til 02/2019
Loan - £12,063.84 as at 4/1/18

    No notification yet as to the APR after the 0% 9 months - suspect it'll jump to something more in line with other cc's - so expecting 15-17%.

    I'll post up when it arrives - should be within the next few days.

    Seems they are migrating all cards from Visa to Mastercard.

    Just got update on the new APR for me - 9.95%. Not that I'll be using it, but means it will stay as my emergency card.
