FEBRUARY New challenge make £10 per day

headoutthesand

Haven't updated for a wee while so here goes...

£14.20 from travel and subsistance claim at work
£20 from MiL for unused/unwanted wedding present that she needed

Got some things ending on ebay this week so hopefully that'll bump me up by the end of the month

Blim. something's just taken the shine off my bingo winnings. anyone else noticed a minimum £3 per transaction 'cash advance fee' charged to their card for any 'deposit' to a bingo site? I certainly (just now) have.

According to my SMILE customer service advisor, this is due to a statute put on the books last September. No, she didn't know which one.

Any way around this? I'm still in the black, but rather less impressively... Is this compulsory for card providers, or optional? Are there any that don't levy it?...

Halifax take 50p for gambling tranactions - so I don't use them for my bingo anymore

As far as I've seen so far none of mine have charged any fees - that's HSBC Maestro, Barclays Connect, Argos Mastercard (although they did charge interest from day of transaction rather than the usual interest free period), and Natwest Maestro. A friend got told off by Egg though because apparently they don't like gambling transactions?

Boo to Smile. Is that a debit or credit card?

I'm well over 30 (37)and I've got (and use!) msn

fab fun, but highly improbable idea coming up - maybe we could all use some of our March challenge money and have a matched betting weekend?!

Yes!! :beer:

Update for today

Withdrew £17 from lightspeed accounts to paypal
one poll survey 25p
money off vouichers used £1.50
bingo win £12.92

also did some GTM surveys, only 100 more points for my next payout
also gave in and opened my sealed tin that was nearly full cos I knew there was quite alot of money in it and I couldn't face losing the interest towards free christmas challenge

I had £80 in £2, and £50 in notes still need to count the change can I include this in this challenge?

Blimmin' heck, I'd still be better off with them! Halifax here I come! Alternatively, are there any cards that don't levy a fee?
