Previously a PO Credit card, I have used it extensively in Europe especially to buy in fuel stations, restaurants and hotels, and as far as I can remember I've always paid it off by direct debit after I forgot one and got a shock interest charge . Last used in November and September.
So I think we've had enough discussion about why they've done it, now I'd appreciate opinions on what to replace it with, given my typical spending habits and one that offers the best exchange rate
After a brief bit of research I settled on the Barclaycard's rewards card which arrived today.

Given that I have a Halifax current account I guess I'll go for their Clarity card
I have been with Post Office for a many many years and now with JAJA and received the same email as above and yet I use my Jaja card the whole time and it has not been dormant. Bloody outrageous !!! They must be in financial difficulties and on the point of going into ADMISTRATION !!!! That's what I have heard on the financial grapevine.
Bit of a leap no? They're trimming back the segments of their Bank of Ireland acquired portfolio which are making them no money.
I note nobody so far has said they (sometimes) carry a balance month to month...
Just got my email today, only used last month… but only use abroad. No big deal but would have been interesting to know why:-

I wonder if the timing of these account closure notices are dependent on statement date? As yet, I've not received the same email as others have. My statement date is 17th of the month - perhaps I'll get notified around this date?

As a data point, my statement date is the 18th of the month.
Received notice of closure of my JaJa credit card yesterday. Such a shame as I always found it gave good exchange rates when using it abroad which I did regularly. I also liked the app. I can't understand why it would take over all the Post Office card customers a few years ago, only to discard them. Presumably not as profitable as they thought.
