lucky green trainers 0 Posted January 23, 2006 with impecable timing, some advertising literature landed on my mat today, proclaiming in large letters, your club, your mastercard. Your club, yeah right. However, on closer inspection, the offer did look quite tempting, a city credit card that gives 0% interest for 9 months on balance transfers. Overcome by the novelty, a transfer that offers a good deal - new approach for city i thought, i excitedly began to thumb through the glossy contract. then on closer inspection, in small print, i realised the deal didn''t look as good as i first thought. to say the card offered 0% interest for 9 months implied the loan was free, and technically using carefully chosen words it was, so it wasn''t lying - however, it charges a 2% transfer fee of the balance upto a max of £50 smackers. Bleedin agents - they''re killing the money game i raged. Seeking independent financial advice, the wife swiftly quashed the transfer, adding that we didn''t need to pay inflated prices in january as better value deals would be found in the summer. She railed, the TSB (i know - its been gone years) are always trying to flog me a card and there''s no agents fee on theirs.What really did it though, was the card is financed by MNBA, who happen to be a financial contributor to George Bush''s Republican Party in the US. No thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
