Paying for your season ticket

Jerry St Clair · by **Jerry St Clair** » 15 May 2007 12:38

So, any top tips on paying in interest free instalments? There seem to be a dearth of 0% interest credit cards at the moment (my usual preferred method).

Any smart advice nobbers?

Get a Barclays Premiership Card - no interest ever on season ticket payments.

Presumably we paid the other half of his transfer fee in cash?

This thread is cheese.

But anyway, this is the card to get. It is 0% interest on your season ticket for however long it takes you to pay it off (but if you make other purchases these aren't 0% and they will be cleared off before your season ticket... you have been warned).

I'll lend you the money.

If you don't fancy the Barclaycard option (which is good), consider Egg Money. The card has 3 months interest free, plus it pays 1% cash back annually in March/April next year. A season ticket will net you GBP 5.45

Not much, but keep reading....

Transfer (manually) your salary from your current account to your Egg Money card to an Egg savings account back to your current account and Egg also pay 1% cash back on the money moved. You just need to be able to live without that cash for 12 days. There is a cap of GBP 200 maximum cashback per annum however if you recycle your money in this manner, moving GBP 1600. per month, you will receive a payment of GBP 200 next March/April. You will be paid a small ammount of interest for the days that your money is in the Egg Money Card (4%) and Egg Savings Account (5.25%) so taking all this into account, your season ticket could cost you GBP 340 rather than GBP 545

If you do get a credit card, make it work for you.
