    Best Buy Best Credit Card Reward Schemes

    "Why not consider the Tesco Credit Card?" Thanks fungus, the Tesco Credit Card looks good. I see you've already calcuated the percentage cashback for each reward card and considering that about 1/3 of my monthly CC bill is on food purchases the Tesco credit card could be the best reward option...

    Best Buy Best Credit Card Reward Schemes

    What a shame. Pigsback have halved the rewards for using this card from the 1st April 2009. They sent me an email talking about giving a better service with a chance to win 10,000 point a month and "introducing some exclusive reward items which will only be available to cardholders along with...

    Laptop. Lidl, Aldi or Dell?

    I bought the Aldi laptop too and I am pleased so far but I can't tell whether I'm getting the full Aero visual experience. It wasn't mentioned whether the graphics card supported it or not. Based on dotsman's comments I think it may not support the fancy Aero visuals.

    Inchicore or Maynooth with kids?

    I lived in Inchicore for four years. Yes it is as rough in parts as some posters are suggesting and some areas are fine. I experienced a rough area first hand and I would never raise a child there, ever. To get a good feel for the people in the area just have a pint in a few pubs. The Black Lion...

    Has car insurance risen?

    There are good quotes available if you ring around, my fiance reduced hers from 500 to 319 by switching to Eagle Star but when I rang them a month later there quote was the dearest of all the companies I rang. Of course our profiles are completely different but she must have fallen into a...

    Bank honours Direct Debit on closed Credit Card account

    CCOVICH, Zag, Thanks for the advice. I suppose the real issue here is that I signed up for the card and quickly agreed to loads of conditions that I didn't think through. I need to take some responsibility here.

    Bank honours Direct Debit on closed Credit Card account

    Ouch, never thought of that. I have a feeling this saga with the bank will continue. So easy to get a card, so difficult to cancel it.

    Bank honours Direct Debit on closed Credit Card account

    My issue is that a year after I tried to get rid of the credit card, they still have their claws in me. If I can't afford to clear the bill in full this month I'll be paying interest. Also note that after 3 phone calls the bank can still not tell me if I have now cancelled all DDs on the card...

    Bank honours Direct Debit on closed Credit Card account

    Yes I was informed about my reponsibility. I acknowledge this. However I would have thought that the payment would be refused anyway and the third party company would contact me and I would give them my new CC details. The reason I thought this is because this is exactly what happened when I...

    Bank honours Direct Debit on closed Credit Card account

    I cancelled my Credit card (CC) with BOI and closed the CC account in November 2005. I faxed the relevant forms and recieved confirmation that the acount was closed. I never received a statement again. However I forgot to update my Direct Debit details with one third party company, so this...

    Insurance for MP3 player

    Watched a documentary on insurance on the BBC last week. I think it was called "Trust me I'm an Economist"??? At least that's what the presenter kept saying to everyone he interviewed. On insurance he advised people follow this rule: "you only insure what you cannot afford to happen/replace not...

    Taken for a ride - Irish Balloon Flights

    I bought myself and my Dad a voucher a few years back with Irish Balloon Flights and was quite slow in organising the actual flight. As a result the voucher expired long before we got to fly but because we had made an attempt to organise things before the voucher expired Irish Balloon Flights...

    Dublin City Council (DCC) and Traffic Lights

    I was convinced that the timing had changed on a set of lights that I go through on the way to work and that it was causing unnecessary congestion far earlier in the morning than it should. It was adding 15 minutes to my journey. So I complained to my co-workers...for weeks...shame on me. One...

    Good Value Hi-Fi

    I was looking for a Hi-Fi for about 150 euro with good. Most in that price range have 5 watt - 20 watt speakers so I was suprised to find Currys doing an Hitachi Micro Hi-Fi with two 50 watt speakers for 130 euro. Since that's not the only indicator of quality I went home and brought in some CDs...

    Converting gas fireplace to open fireplace

    I want to convert a gas fire place to a open fire. My fire place has a copper pipe soldered at the end protruding from the bottom centre of the fire place. I have successfully removed the cement base of the fireplace and I can push the copper pipe back and flat so that if I replaced the fire...
