  • Well I was accepted.... but with a £500 credit limit!!? That will be very handy for 12 months 0% spending for me to stooze... not :rolleyes: Aww well, at least I should get the money from Quidco (if it ever tracks...). I might even phone HSBC up and ask if they can increase my credit limit ten fold :D

    Luckily I got a letter from MBNA yesterday offering me 0% spending on my card until August :j I assume it's because I haven't used that card for months and months ;)
    :p Proud to be a MoneySaver! :p

    It's good, as long as you pay off in August.
