Hi all,

I've had a mailshot for an American Express Platinum card with 0% for 6 on BT's.

Just wanted to ask you peeps if this card is pukka?

Any BT fees etc..? I need to watch out for?

Thanks

    You need to check the Ts & Cs that come with the card. The mailshot should have at least a summary of them or a key features panel which should list charges. 0% on BTs is not the standard offer that is on their website so we can't tell from that. I can't see it as a 0% offer on Moneysupermarket either so it must be a selected mailshot.

    I have an Amex Platinum card but I don't use it to Stooze with - it is my prime cashback card, because it offers up to 2% cashback on purchases which is the best around. OK, so you need to spend a fair bit on the card before you get 2% cashback but it works out fine for me.

    If there are no BT charges then I would consider going for it, but check out what else is around first.
