Barclaycard 0% life of Balance Important.

Beachec

Not sure if this has already been discussed, but I received my Barclaycard statement this morning and discovered I was paying full interest.
I contribute £1 to the upkeep of this site through PayPal and have just found out that it looks like PayPal have cancelled the subscription because it was now two years old. I can't remember renewing the subscription last year.
Has anyone else found this too. :mad:

The terms of the Barclaycard were 0% for life of balance if you spend £1.

I'm not certain the timing is significant for paypal but Martin did warn about something similar here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=617 However, I recently received a new card on the second anniversary of the original issue, I updated paypal accordingly, I wonder if your details were possibly out of date which is why they cancelled it?

Also, the subscription does not help fund this site any more, Paypal get around £0.25 and all the rest goes to the charities nominated each May, see here for details of who has been nominated and how much has been donated: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/aboout.phtml
