    Sorry Geenie, I've re-read your original post and originally I didn't get that you'd had to pay twice in the same month. Blimey! I will be checking my payment dates very carefully in future.
    Cheers for that!

    No apology required Mozette. :D I am rubbish at explaining things clearly. I am just curious as to why the normal rules of a good months grace before paying back your CC suddenly become 3 weeks in the month of February?!!!

    I think several cards are cutting the time between statement and payment dates. Goldfish for one have done this recently, but they did give advance warning of it.

    And, of course, Barclaycard would regard the note on the statement as advance warning.

    The moral of this tale is to only trust your bank or CCC as far as you could spit their head offices and always check your statements.

    The Royal Bank of Scotland cut the time between statement & payment dates a couple of months ago & have applied this to Tesco credit cards from the January statement. The due date on my Tesco Mastercard has been moved forward 6 days.
