URGENT 0% FOR LIFE CREDIT CARD LOOPHOLE STILL ON

The loophole allowing a permanent 0% interest on up to £5000 worth of transferred credit card debt is still available.  It comes from sneakily (but legally) manipulating Barclaycard's latest offer by giving to charity.  

This loophole had been closed by Barclaycard as the leaflets available from branches have been changed to ask for a minimum monthly spend of £50/month (which scuppers it)   However current Barclaycard is signing people up to the original £1 minimum spend leaflets (where you can work the loophole) in shopping centres.  I've just spotted one in Shepherds Bush, and they'll be there for at least two more days.

Thus I am launching THE GREAT 0% BARCLAYCARD HUNT!

This is the full 0% for life loophole article (remember the leaflets we want have a £1 or 1p minimum spend – the warning at the top of the article is for the BANK leaflets which have a £50 min).

One quick point.  This a loophole so it is not straightforward.  Read the article a couple of times to make sure you're getting it right.  It's worth doing, but it is worth doing carefully. CLICK HERE to ask a question (please don't reply to this e-maiL)
 
Please forward this to as many people as you can – the more MoneySavers trying to locate this card – the more money we take off Barclaycard – what a fantastic feeling.

I hope you save some money
