Are they treating us as fools!
In the UK Virgin use MBNA Europe Bank as their credit provider and here in Australia they use Westpac, I suspect Virgin don't have much say with the interest rate they charge since they are at the mercy of the big banks.
Almost every credit card in the UK offers 0% for 6 months and I think there are about 450 different types, there is not enough competition here in Australia yet, this will change as more credit card providers are allowed to operate here.
