  • You can send me the cashback then.

    My £100 a week discretionary spending will get you far... where would you like your £52 yearly Cheque?

    This GiffGaff doesn’t?
  • You're still missing the point

    A loan, or a finance agreement such as this, is not the way to build credit history

    No I’m not missing the point, because no one is explaining why a credit card is so much better than any this ofther form of credit. Sorry that people are mocking me and thinking I’m a troll, I have asked to speak to someone face to face, because I really don’t understand it all. I was also willing to pay.

    It’s annoying as I’ve rented for 15 years, yet that’s not seen in a good light. I’ve got a big deposit as well as savings, yet I’m having to struggle getting a credit card, which would be paid of in full monthly, so it’s basically a debit card.
  • It's not basically Debit Card...

    You get all the perks and protections with it that you don't with a Debit Card

    Plus you build a credit history, which you don't with a Debit Card

    You pay it in full to show your commitment to making the payments in full and on time etc.

    Ok you misunderstand. I meant I will be paying it if in full with cash... therefore it’s like a credit card.

    As my credit limit is low, what perks would I really have. £60 cashback.,..

    I thought the whole point of this thread was how o build a credit history, You don't do that with a debit card.


    Its interest free if you pay it in full when you get your statement, A loan is not.


    You say you don't need credit as you have enough cash so why would you want to pay interest?
