0% balance transfer card and they rejected me after
doing a proper credit check, which by checking also
lowered it some more....

# O_O
Best one I ever got was from a company that had turned me down before, offering me a free man's watch if I took out their card. I wrote 'I'm a girl. What the hell would I want with a cheap and tacky man's watch? Write to me again and I'll sue you out of business' on the application form and sent it back in their pre-paid envelope. I've never heard from them again.

# Pre-paid envelopes
are for taping to bricks before posting.

Or old washing machines or whatever. They have to pay for the weight of the mail as well as the size nowadays.

that makes you look like a miserable cunt?

I thought of doing the same, but didn't for the same reason

edit: there was an occasion, I was on my drive when the free paper delivery bot turned up and I asked him to put it straight into the recycling box, which was open next to him.

He did!

When I get credit card application forms I like to see how much other stuff i can fit in their prepaid envelopes. Usually as much newspaper as i can (usually requires sellotape to close). But I have while eating my breakfast, filled one with muesli and another with a perfectly nibbled piece of toast. I should probably get out more.

Clever.

I have no idea where my credit card is. I accidentally maxed it out then paid it off just before they took a payment, so I'm actually 20-odd quid in credit on my credit card.

# The crooks are the travel agents and the like
Who charge a fee for credit card payments.

Doesn't that violate the Ts&Cs? If you won't take the card as is, stop taking credit card payments then. And see how long you last...
