Virgin 6.7% Purchases and transfers

Hi i have just been accepted for a Virgin card following the link on the newsletter kindly sent out by martin!!!

The card offers purchases at 6.7% perfect for the monthly shop but also 6.7% life of the balance on transfers. Transfers are also Free of charge so no fee of 2.98% which is normal for Virgin.

I am extremely happy, and once accepted you call them on an 0800 number and you discuss your limit with them.

£5000 and i have a decent credit score:j

    I have just read and also visited Virgin's website.

    I remain very sceptical and wary of any Virgin/MBNA issued credit cards. Past experience has shown that they have a knack for lurring you in with supossedly cheap interest rate only to hit you with high interest rate later.

    I shall not be rushing in head-long to take this card up yet, will wait a while until the dust settles on this deal from Virgin/MBNA as it's too good to be true.
    Money is like a bird.....if mishandled, will simply fly away....
