al4x Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 NJC that sounds like a hell of a lot of interest to make over 11 months even at 5% return you'd need about 10K on cards to do that. Mung it is indeed possible to make the most of spending via credit card and in reality yes you've had it cloned before but far better a credit card gets cloned than your debit card. However as said I wouldn't stick with one institution for everything as that stops you shopping arround and rewards aren't usually worth as much as you can save elsewhere. What is worth looking out for is cash reward cards I've an egg one that gives me 1% back and I use that for most things including council tax etc just to get a little back on the ********.

njc110381 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yeah, £10K was my credit limit back then. At the time that would have been about a years wages, it's not hard to see how people can get in trouble is it? Back then the Halifax was giving 5.something percent on savings over £5k. Oh how things have changed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjimmer Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 No - you don't spend any more than you usually would - you just spend it through the medium that gives the best benefit for you I think I'll just keep my hand in my pocket.
