    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Nothing much just credit card speak, changes to how they can take your card off you and cancelyour account without good reason etc, they do seem to be locking down the hatches though, they dont seem to want any business at the moment, guess I will have to wait and see. :rolleyes:

    Just got a call from Vanquis to say my application has been approved. OMG can that girl talk fast, I kept asking ehr to repeat things. Must be a so you agree to " extras" without realising what they are lol

    So this time last week has no credit cards except prepaid and now have 2:T okl not really anything to get excited about , not even sure if I will bother with the Vanquis although the offer to transfer a " lump sum " into my bank account was tempting.

    So now waiting on Aquacard...£250 limit and Vanquis £250 limit. Still not sure if I have done the right thing as not even sure what I will use them for , or if I will.

    ok just reading vanquis details, should have read them first lol am I right in thinking if I buy something I pay interst from day 1 ? so no interest free? nooooooooo do not like that , can I cancel it again ? I wnat to pay off balance each month but not paying interest for nothing :eek:

    yes then on next page found

    Interest calculation
    Interest is generally charged from the date of all transactions or other amounts charged to your account, until repayment in full. Interest is charged on the daily outstanding balance on your account and debited to your account at the end of each statement period. At statement date, we will add the interest we charge to the outstanding balance on your account. This means that you will generally pay interest on interest.

    Interest free period
    Up to 56 days interest free on purchase transactions only, where you have paid off two or more consecutive current statement balances in full and on time.



    so have to pay 2 months with interest to get the interest free, guess if I do keep it could make a few samll purchases and pay interst on them then get the interst free facility as long as balance paid, just seems complicated
