New Virgin 6.7% test card

FEvans

I recently applied for a new virgin card with an advertised 15 month interest free balance transfer window.

I received my card and activated it and was told that the card i received was a new 6.9% APR card that MBNA were testing. Basically its 6.7% for the life of the card on purchases and balance transfers with no balance or cash transfer fee.

has anyone else had one of these cards as it seems like a better deal than a 15 month interest balance transfer card.

sounds interesting, wonder if anyone else knows anything about this?

Sounds good, i wonder if existing customers can switch.

i was an existing customer of MBNA and what they did was reduce my credit of an old card i never used and gave me this new virgin one.

i am still trying to work out whether or not i should demand the original offer i signed up for ie a 15 month interest fee balance transfer card

maybe they're trying to get rid of their 0% offers for good, I've heard a few people talking about that. If so, the new 6.7% for life sounds like a good deal, and it'll still make them money, and save us money.
