    I’ve currently got a recurring 20 month 0% BT offer on my Barclaycard Avios card with a 4% fee and a 19 month MT offer with a 4.5% fee.

    And in their recent email reminder, they advised me that I’d also be earning 1 Avios point per £1 transferred also this month. 

    I’ve also got 9 month 0% BT and MT offers with a 2.9% fee on my Sainsbury’s Dual Offer card.

    And I’ve got a 12 month 0% BT offer with a 2.9% fee on my FD Gold card.

    I've just had my new offers in from Barclaycard, and they have reduced timescales. 

    BT 0% until 1/7/24 with a 3.7% fee and MT 0% until 1/4/24 with a 2.6% fee. 

    Still reasonably keen, given what is on offer for instant access accounts. 

    Wait, only 9 months for MT? Mine on Barclaycard is 15 months, but 3.8% fee (equals to 3.04% per year). Still worth it.

    Yes - it seemed strange and was well short of what I generally get. 

    My new offers are in and I'm getting better offers this month. 21 months BT for 3.3% and 20 months MT for 3%. Matches what someone else reported for last month.

    Might have been me. My new Barclaycard offers are April 2025 (BT) and Feb 2025 (MT), each now at 3.5%

    I have at 1% cashback if I spend more than £150 !

    No zero deals for a while. I have cleared my 2 Barclaycards and hopefully the zero deals will come back for Nov 24 when I need them by

    Has anyone ever had a personalised offer from RBS? I've got a balance coming to an end in a few months - could just pay it off and close the card, but would rather keep it open if they'll ever give me a existing customer/retention type offer.
    Limit is £8k so if nobody has any positive experiences then I'll probably close it so I can start to get credit elsewhere (or be a 'new' customer in a few months) - as all my limits are about £90k so understandably nobody is giving me offers any more!

    RBS keep phoning and emailing me about loans because it says I'm 70% likely to be approved, not that I want one at their crazy rates.

    Not necessarily personalised offers for RBS but if I click on apply and then credit cards in the app it shows me the 0% balance transfer credit cards that I can apply for. You can have up to 3 across the RBS/Natwest group. I always close my balance transfer cards once the promotion ends.

    I tend to find once you clear the balance outstanding they send you zero deals. A couple of post up I posted that in August I had no offers from Barclays, once I cleared they offered me a zero deal. Which I don't need for another year.

    All I’ve had from RBS in recently years is reminders that I haven’t used my card for a year and they will close it if I don’t use it by a certain date. I use it for a purchase and pay it off on the statement to keep the account open in the hope I will get an offer.

    Not had anything from Barclaycard for a while now either. They always seem to be pushing Purchase Plans whenever I log in to check.

    Thanks all, looks like I'll axe RBS as soon as it's repaid then - I only get the generic page Jami mentions.

    Probably get rid of Santander too, then my limits will be down to about 2x salary, so I might finally get some good existing customer offers from Barclays, Lloyds & co! (I don't even get purchase plans with Barclays, or an Overdraft - despite having a 'premier' current account!).

    For Stoozing - anyone that can get their hands on Barclays Premier, I got an email a few days ago - you don't need to be in Blue Rewards to get the 5.12% saver any more if you're premier - that overrides the eligibility. So it saves some of the DD faff if it's not your main current account (You still have to loop £45k a year through it though to keep it AFAIK)
