Santander Everyday Long Term Balance Transfer Credit Card
Am I right in reading correctly - there is no deadline to the 0% offer for 34 months - you can transfer at any time during the first 34 months? I don't seem to see a deadline to complete a transfer to get 0% like other cards do?

Virtual Visa Debit cards - are they worth it?
Having been a member of Nielsen IQ for a long time, I have accrued quite a few points to convert. I have exchange points for Amazon vouchers in the past, but have noticed that you can also get a virtual visa debit card from them. This is shown as being acceptable at anywhere that accepts Visa debit cards. Before I go ahead…

Lloyds credit card is unusable due to overzealous security algorithm
I am fortunate in that I have never been out of work or had any financial problems, and have an excellent credit history. That is not good enough for Lloyds whose automated security algorithms have twice stopped me from buying something with my Lloyds so-called 'Ultra' credit card, and then blocked the card. This is…

Argos Pay
Please be gentle - this is my first post here, and I hope it's the right forum for this info. Argos have changed their credit service over the weekend and it's now called Argos Pay. I think they've changed/resold the credit to another provider and rebranded it. I've used their buy now pay later schemes over the years to…

I do not want a limit that high but would be happy with a lower limit of £600. I contacted capital one and asked them but they refused telling me that was the only offer on the…

Hi everyone, I've been stoozing for a while and I'm planning on a balance transfer soon. I'm pre-approved for the Santander Long Term Balance Transfer card on the MSE credit club.

Tesco Bank Credit Card asking for more information
I applied for a Tesco Bank credit card to move some debt. However, they only said we may lend you this amount and we'll let you know in a few days. I found this odd as they already ran a credit check and that's usually enough. They messaged back 2 days later and requested bank statements, payslips, or a P60 dated within…

MBNA Switch from Mastercard to Visa
I have an email from Lloyds telling me my MBNA card will be switched from Mastercard to Visa in the coming months. One of my reasons for having the MBNA card was the fact it is Mastercard, where all my other cards are visa. Having all eggs in one basket can be a risk, even if small. Also this used to be an affinity card,…

Apple Switch Payment card for Apple Pay without asking
OK. My Apple Pay wallet has a debit card attached to it. It always has, the same card. My credit card is in my autofills but nowhere else. Especially not as an option in Apple Pay. Today I discovered, by accident, that the last four Apple Pay transactions I have done were all put on my credit card! The one that only…

Credit vs debit
Hi all. I intend to browse the pages and search but I wanted to ask for opinions about using a credit card for daily purchases. I’m in a lucky financial position that I have ample funds to be able to use a credit card as my primary spending card and then pay the balance off IN FULL at the end of the month. I feel like this…
