    I get that now, but didn't until the post after mine. Basically, credit providers can lend to whoever they want, and refuse credit to whoever they want. They have decided that you can use your card to spend or do a balance transfer, but you cannot do a money transfer. 
    Barclaycard reduced the money transfer amount on my card to £1000, Tesco left it as 95% of my credit limit. Nowt anyone can do, I'm afraid.

    Fair enough. I just thought it was a feature of the card, I didn't realise it was possible to get the card but then not be able to do that particular thing with it. Guess I'll just start using it normally and then see keep an eye on whether that option turns up at some point! Thanks
