Keep on your toes - the banks are well rehearsed at running us round in circles.

Hats off to RBS Coutts and their new credit card charges

Last month I trawled the Money Saving Expert site to see what folk were saying about current deals on credit cards. We are alway hearing that we should change mortgage provider and shop around for intro offers with credit cards.

I finally opted for the Mint Credit Card - it seemed to get the thumbs up from lots of posts on various forums so I applied online and it arrived within the week. Cool balance transfer offer but I felt a bit of a plum when I rang to complain my card had a corner missing!

Now the rascals have pulled a nifty trick when you use the card to buy gift vouchers (I myself am particualary fond of giving these as it appears that you have actually given the gift some thought). These transactions are now to be treated in the same extortionate way that cash withdrawals are - a whopping 24.9% immediate interest.

Slippery devils - it must be the Scottish in them. Tartan bladder hooting meanies.
