Some credit cards only give you free balance transfers if you apply for it on the card application form and not if you ring up afterwards.

I have just read about this.
I have a question if I use the amazon card on a small purchase to get the voucher, how do I pay off the debt on the card.
Sounds a daft question I know but my card is paid by direct debit in full each month.

If it is like any other HBoS card then you can pay it by sending a cheque in the post, using your current account's online banking to transfer the money electronically, by debit card via the card's online banking or by paying a cheque or cash into a HBoS branch.

I just got one of these cards, and phoned to activate it just now. From reading the T&C when I applied, I gathered that the six month 0% balance transfer had no fees attached.

The guy on the phone just told me that there is a 2% fee, with no maximum :eek: I don't think I'm giving anything much away by saying my limit is £9,800. Therefore if I balance transferred most of that amount, the fee would be nearly £200. Very disappointing, as I read there were no fees in at least a couple of places before I applied

I've just applied for a card & been approved with a £7k limit. It does say on the T&C's on their site that there's no fee during the initial 6 months.

I will certainly be quoting this to them if they try to charge me...

I did a BT - there was no fee (that they told me about anyway), but could only transfer across a maximum of 90% (i think) of my credit limit...

I got it and BTed it straight away - if i use the card in 6 months time after i've cleared the balance, would i still get my £15 voucher d'ya think???

Got my Amazon voucher code via email today too. The points appear on your Amazon MasterCard statement and when you get to 1500 points (£15) the points are redeemed and handed over to Amazon who then email you a voucher code to use when making a purchase at https://www.amazon.co.uk.
