Pre-approved but not eligible?
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. However, looking at the terms of this card, it says you can only have one "Every day" card - and I already have one (the 12month no fee…

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…

Zable not allowing balance transfer
I have a few debts which I’m trying to pay off, one being a Zable credit card and two store cards.

HSBC Visa credit card 2% cashback
HSBC emailed me today (1 May 2026) with an offer of 2% cashback when using my HSBC Visa credit card.

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…

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…
