Re: £250 switch...

If was supposed to say my GF doesn't do the old "calling banks", in other words, she won't call them, so any switches in her name only get done if I can do it online for her. I see the offer has been pulled for yorkshire/cltdesdale and "B account", I'm still waiting for something...

Re: £250 switch...

I had to call them up to start the ball rolling. They will send me an auth code, I then need to ring up when I have the code, and they will continue the account opening process. I have my mortgage with them, so might be because of that. My GF doesn't doing to old 'calling banks', so I doubt I'll be ...

Re: £250 switch...

I'm going to give this a try for me and GF, as I didn't do the previous round of switching.

Re: Virgin 41 Month Balance Transfer Credit Card

I'll try and make it clear, it can be confusing when first starting. You have a card that is offering a balance transfer (balance transfer is for transfering a balance from 1 credit card to another) You dont have an existing debt on a credit card to do a balance transfer, however what has been sugge...

Re: Virgin 41 Month Balance Transfer Credit Card

I've just looked on Moneysupermarket, they have a Capital One clear pay card, It's 34.94% apr with 0% tranfer fee for money transfer, so you could possibly do a balance transfer from Virgin to Capital One, then money transfer from Capital One to your current account. It would mean opening a 2nd cred...

Re: Virgin 41 Month Balance Transfer Credit Card

Hi, Have you not considered getting a credit card with a long 0% purchase. Use it instead of, I'm assuming, your debit card. Once it's maxed look to get another, or go back to your debit card. Then you aren't paying any fees. Every time you do a transaction, put the equivalent into your savings, and...

Re: Extra TSB classic accounts

I tried applying for the above account in the past when switching bonus was available, but as I already had 2 accounts I couldn't have a third. You have to apply for the account using the link on MSE website, and it's a direct application for the Plus account, not a normal Classic then upgrade. If y...

Re: Extra TSB classic accounts

I recently opened a new one for GF, using the open normal account first, then upgrading online.
I eventually got my GF to ring them, they asked where she lived, and for how long.

Re: How did you start Stoozing? And how has it evolved?

I started off doing 0% BT for actual credit card debt. I still have a couple of outstanding balances, which I transfer when the time is up. I started making money with a Current account switch to Halifax, but again a genuine one where i transferred my real DD and pay, then I did a transfer to FD aga...
