As long as you pay it off then the APR is irrelevant. I shall probably apply for one soon.

The non sterling fee is sneaky. I will have to avoid paying in dollars or euros for anything now.

Not sure about the non sterling fee? Have you been abroad or tried to pay for anything outside the UK?

No, they charge a bit extra for anything that is not GBP. For example I bought something from the USA it was $9,99 but I got charged 65P fee for it.

I think Barclaycard do something similar as well.

Well I can't really complain as they seemed to accept my first payment and charge me no interest. Would have just been nice to have been told I guess.

Into month 2. each month between £100 and £150 will be spent in the hope after 4 months it goes up, I know there are no guarantees and it's helping me out alot too :)

A lot of credit card companies do this. When we went to the US last year I paid for our ESTAs by credit card and was hit by a fee. I've now got a Nationwide Select card and that doesn't have non sterling fees.

The more I have to do with humans the more I think that the world would be a better place if it was run by animals.

Last IPA payment made on 28th June 2010. I'm proof that you can go BR and come out the other side.

Know the feeling with ESTA - there is no other way you can pay but I do know that Barclaycard will charge fees for non sterling transactions.
