AIB Student Credit Card

Lump

The government takes 10 euro for having a pass card and 40 euro for a credit card....... I had it taken out of my account last month..... I don't understand the thinking behind the 10 euro charge...... Hmmmmm

Yes that TAX is charged to all credit card accounts by the Government.

It is bank FEES that students do not have to pay.

Well up to last year that TAX wasn't charged to student credit cards.

twas done this year though, got screwed for it in april IIRC

yeah €40 euro government tax on all CC but if you get an Ulsterbank CC and spend over €5000 in a year (thats right €5000) Ulster bank will pay de 40 euro.

aib have a new thing on their internet banking site where you can now apply for a credit limit increase. i clicked on it and they'd already approved me for a €300 increase. not bad

where on the website is that, carrotcake???

carrotcake

log in and go look at your credit card statement. there should be a link just above the beginning of the statement

400 + 300 = 700

and you can try again in another six months

when I tried it first it said it was unavailable at the time, but worked the next day, perhaps a human reviewed, or perhaps it was the weekend

either way 700 is a decent limit

I presume the daily and per transaction cap, previously 400, has increased to 700 also

i got the Bank of ireland credit card.
Very nice actually. No gimps on it. Just a shiny mastercard
Didnt take long to get either. Had hardly any money in the account so they must be giving them out fairly handy.

how do i transfer money into the aib student mastercard account over the net?
i cant raise the limit and some of the things i need to buy are over 600E (which is my limit)

do you have it set up online so that you can pay off your credit card online?

if so just pay extra into the account.

if not you'll have to ring 24hour banking to set it up for you.

and wow talk about dragging up a zombie thread.

nillox

oh ya good idea paying extra into the account, thanks i didnt think of that, hope it works
