MBNA/Villa Credit Card

[Surrey Villain]

Did anyone else like myself sign up for an MBNA credit card on the promise of a free away shirt if you spend £200 in the first two/three months (not sure of time)?  If so did you get the shirt?

So you put yourself in debt to the tune of over £250 for a villa shirt you could have bought for £45 tops

I know you probably love Aston Villa with all your heart and soul,but are you the full ticket ?

Credit cards are only debts if you dont pay the bill in full.

I am, I'm only barmy enough to support Villa.  Diverting £200 of my normal spending on credit cards over 90 days to MBNA and getting a Villa shirt for my trouble seemed a no brainer. The email from AVFC read 'Apply for an Aston Villa Credit Card, spend £200 on your card within 90 days of your account opening and you will receive our new Villa Away Shirt'.
Simple enough eh?

Very simple indeed,but i will re-iterate my point

Your paying £200 plus for a Villa shirt

But it's your money my friend,crack on.

Not if he was spending the money anyway. If he only uses his card to pay for what he was going to buy anyway then pay it off-it costs nothing.

He's saying that it's £200 that he would normally spend though therefore providing it's 0% he would have lost nothing and gained a Villa top effectively for free

That's the theory!  The important word was 'divert'.  Spending I would normally have done with MasterCard was done on MBNA.  Net result the same.

I did. Spent £200 on it as I would have done on my business card for Christmas presents and got a free shirt for my troubles. 6 months interest free to pay it back. Job's a good 'un.

Very simple indeed

It appears you are!!!  ;o)

Did you have to do anything to claim it?

[holtepaul]

can I ask why is the guy getting abuse.

I bought 4 new tyres for my car at the weekend - cost 240 quid, paid on my Barclays Debit card

Now I had to pay 240 quid didnt I - I couldn't just walk away with the tyres.

If I had an MBNA card - if I had paid on that, and paid it straight off - I'd have got a free shirt

Thats all the guy has done - so why are you calling him "simple" and "not the full ticket".

If you wander around your house, you'll probably see something on the wall that if you look into it - you can see yourself - have a try !

No, no you're not.

I hope you're not an accountant.

That is very funny!

[DeKuip]

So did you get the shirt?

If I'd have known you could get a free Villa away shirt for buying four tyres I'd have taken out a loan and bought a car to go with them!
