Good day people. Is it advisable to make normal day to day or rather weekly shopping and budget payments with the Credit card then pay it all off fortnightly? If there is monies in your account, can you still use the credit card nonetheless and reimburse from there? I quite keen on the credit build-up. I need all the info I can get. Thanks. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Falzdbadtguy: Okay. All spending are done on the credit card then, yes? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DisGuy: 8:33pm On Dec 29, 2017 |
Inkredible: To be honest I think credit cards should be used for bulky high ticket purchase, leave the weekly shopping to your normal debit card/cash. if you're buying Dyson, Furniture, cars, package holidays etc but then again everyone has a comfortable strategy to keep on top of things |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Inkredible(m): 8:46pm On Dec 29, 2017 |
DisGuy: Valid point but making such huge purchases aren't that frequent. Maybe once or twice a year if renting an already furnished apartment. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DisGuy: 9:00pm On Dec 29, 2017 |
Inkredible: True, i think that's why most people see credit card as a back up, not main card...but i guess if you want it to be 'active' you might as well use it that way. If you use public transport you might want pay for an annual travel card with it . 1 Like |

DisGuy: Great! Thanks for chipping in. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Nobody: 10:04pm On Dec 29, 2017 |
Inkredible: Not really, you just have to spend like 5 pounds or 100pounds Don't spend too much, or repaying back might be painful, as you're technically still borrowing |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Inkredible(m): 10:21pm On Dec 29, 2017 |
SerOlugbenga: Thanks mate. Are there any rates you pay for the borrowed cash before repayment? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Nobody: 10:25pm On Dec 29, 2017 |
Inkredible:i think that comes if you don't repay before the deadline 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Inkredible(m): 10:36pm On Dec 29, 2017 |
SerOlugbenga: Hmmm. One last question for tonight, is the credit point earned proportional to amount spent or the consistency of usage and prompt reimbursement? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Nobody: 10:37pm On Dec 29, 2017 |
Inkredible: To be honest, I'm also new here, so i can't really give advice on that, but you can use Experian to check your credit scores 1 Like |

fatima04: Absolutely not, i shop around for the best money transfer agent and have used the 3 i mentioned here. I don't know anything about that company apart from using their service. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 1:06am On Dec 30, 2017 |
Inkredible: I think for a start the bank gives you between 1k to 1500 credit limit depending on their policy then you keep building or from.dre and it goes higher but for other service provider dt gives credit card I really don't know. Oldies will soon come give u a robust response 2 Likes |

imconfused: Hmmmn. Think this will be part of my culture shock. How do one handle it really and raising the young ones in a westernised environment. Is spanking without marks on the kids allowed? |

justwise: Trust you, pls update us when u find another better service provider. |

Have you heard of Tranzfar |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Inkredible(m): 4:45am On Dec 30, 2017 |
justwise: Rate right now is 429naira. Isn't that quite low given that a pound is worth 486 naira? Just curious. |

.Its impressive when i see Nigerians in prominent roles in the society. I feel kinda proud of how far they've come out from the domestic suppression. Just waztched on TV, one Efe Ezekial receiving an OBE. I'm also tripped about the successful Nigerian Doctors and Nurses. E.g Emeka on Junior Doctors show on the BBC 1 Like
