Review of the MBNA, Credit Card:

View on product page

BEWARE of 0% interest rate, they only mean 60 days!

I had the credit card for a little over 3 months, and I made a purchase I was planning to use the 15 months of 0% APR. So I noticed that I got charged on the 3rd month and queried this with a customer advisor. She was brilliant and was accustomed to this enquiry. She told me there is a very small print that is not apparent to new customers that 15 months of 0% APR actually means the 0% applies to the first 60 days... She then advised me to get another credit card out, and she was completely talking me through how to close my account down without getting further charges. I'm just very shocked at the lack of transparency MBNA has with consumers over something as basic as the term length for a 0% APR interest rate. Thanks to that advisor she was so accustomed to this when I swore out of shock and then quickly apologised, she showed good decency and empathy of the situation. On the same day I took her advice and transferred my balance to another credit card. The take from this is all of the 0% term length offers mean only 60 days. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2024
