    It will appear as a credit card on your credit reports, but there is no physical card issued by Creation, it's purely for use in store/online in Curry's PC world. Same thing happened with my argos store card. 

    CC limits £26000


    Long term CC debt £0

    Total low rate loan debt £3000

    Almost debt free feeling, priceless.

    Ex money nightmare, learnt from my mistakes and never going back there again, in control of my finances for the first time in my adult life and it feels amazing. 
  • On a side note, anyone else think it was weird that Creation let you pay off your credit card with another credit card.
    Not really, several card issuers allow this and then there’s the whole balance transfer thing.

    Which other card issuers allow this?
    Most accept Debit Cards. Creation is the only issuer I know of which allows Credit Card settlement (ignoring Curve workarounds).
  • Creation is the only provider I know of that allows payments directly by credit card.

    Several do. Vanquis Bank is one example.

    Interesting, but I'm not sure 2 (one of which is closed to new business) counts as 'several'.

    Me neither!

    You’re two steps ahead, you now know the opportunity exists and been provided with an example - surely that’s a win!
  • They've awarded me the points they have owed me for over a year.

    They have applied them to my account as "IHG credit card goodwill adjustment"
