BT Credit Card - misleading Advertisments (unlimit...

Hi, forum people . This is a post mainly for BT's benefit. Not sure where else to put it.
I got a marketing email last Thursday which says that with the BT credit card
"You can save an unlimited amount each year.."
I have also seen this on a BT web site page.
Well Rubbish. There is a limit of £75 per year clearly stated in terms and conditions if you can find them. Easy on the MBNA card servicing web site. Not so easy to find on BT.
Anyway I already have a BT credit card.
Perhaps they (BT) should fix these Ads/web pages or the advertising standards agency might get a complaint soon about misleading Ads.?

Sorry. Not sure I understand you Andy_N.
What I am talking about are the claims for unlimited money off your phone bill each year using the BT credit card . I don't know what you mean by cashback.
See for example
Web site http://bt.com
see "at home" and click on "BT credit card"
Then it says
SHAVE unlimited money off your BT Bill etc.There is even a calculator that tells you that you can save £80 a year for a monthly spend of £1000 - well I do not believe that is true. Happy for someone in BT to confirm it though
Looking then at the (many) terms and conditions I see no reference to a £75 cap per annum. But there is one.
I have the card. Have read the terms on MBNA site.
On that site you see this:-
<QUOTE>
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
BT Credit Card Discount
You will earn money off the BT phone bill associated with your home landline number
when you spend on your BT Credit Card - you can earn up to a maximum of £75 off your BT bill
in any 12 month period.
<END QUOTE>
OK?
My apologies, I thought there was a cashback option or a phone bill reduction.
I've not been able to find the page to which you are referring, but this page :-
www.bt.com/weshare
gives no upper limit. Perhaps you can give the URL of the MBNA page I

BT Credit Cards Misleading Information AGAIN

Having done a search before posting this I noticed there was an old post regarding the maximum limit of £75 cashback being able to be earnt in any "rolling" 12 month period with a BT credit card. The post was designated "solved" as the person concerned had received an explanation regarding old and new credit cards - new were recived after 2009.
Today having spent over £800 this month on my "new" card I started using in 2010 MBNA informed me that I had exceeded the allowable £75 rebate and couldn't get a penny off my bill this month!!
JUST CHECKED AGAIN and I must have had my card before the 2009 deadline as I seem to have been getting the higher rate rebates - just been getting too many and so fell foul of the £750 limit.
I'M HAPPY NOW as it seems virtually impossible to get more money using the "new" card!

HT5622 Why does my credit car decline when I'm trying to review my credit card details? I'm trying to creat and finish my apple login but it keeps saying declined. Does Apple charge credit cards just for registering a credit card??

Just to add to AnaMusic's list:

Yes, Apple will validate the credit card, when you are setting up the account information for an Apple ID. The credit card must be valid in the country of the store, that you are trying to buy from. And the card you are using must neither be blocked by the issuer of the card nor by the Apple for store services.
The error message you are citing is misleading: The error message could either mean
that you are using the wrong type of card (Are you using a debit card or a credit card?)
that the AppeID or the credit card you are using has been blocked for security reasons,
or that you are encountering a store error, because you are trying to use the iTunes Store or AppStore from a country, where it is not yet supported.

Itunes will not accept credit card information

With a minimum of 10 attempts with at least 4 different senior advisors, no one can figure out what has changed with Itunes that has resulted in a continuing error message that my card information provided through itunes does not match with bank records. The bank disagrees and has validated information 3 times. Something is very wrong with Itunes billing and no one can help.

I have been waiting for apple itunes support to answer for several days since I received their machine generated formletter response telling me they're investigating. Finally after trying everything I could think of I figured it out myself. As suspected and confirmed by Visa, this isn't a problem with the credit card or the credit card information, but an itunes store desktop application bug. First it is displaying a misleading and inaccurate message on entering valid credit card information for an available credit card with more than enough credit (your credit card has been declined). This message implies that apple sent the request to your credit card vendore which wastes your time and the credit card vendor's when you contact them to investigate.
It turns out the whole issue is caused by poorly coded integration between itunes store desktop application and apple store web application. I found an old apple knowledge base article which said that whenever you update account info on itunes store, it automatically updates apple store.
What was really happening when itunes store displayed the CC declined message was that it was trying to update apple store's information to match, but the apple store account info has different options and validaiton than the itunes store accounts info (in my case the apple store doesn't have an option for my country, Jordan). So when a validation error was encountered by itunes desktop app as it was trying to update apple store information, it just falls back to displaying credit card declined simply because the apple programmers did not bother (too lazy I guess) to take the validation error from the apple store and display it in itunes.
So what I did was open apple store account management, change my email and save. Then open itunes login with the new email, then itunes will ask me to re-enter account info (not just billing info) this allowed my cc to be accepted immediately.

Can I use family sharing without a credit card

I want to set up family sharing in iCloud between my account and my dad's since we have separate accounts. Problem is, one of them needs a credit card and my sister tends to make purchases from iTunes cards that weren't for her. Can I set up family sharing without using a credit card? I have a friend who used his parents credit card and one day, they got a $500 bill from iTunes on purchases they didn't make. The account was hacked somehow and the last thing my parents need is to have one of their cards hijacked again.

Apple suggests that in this case you add with a credit card then switch back: Start or join a family group using Family Sharing - Apple Support
"When you create an account for a child, you must use a credit card as the payment method as part of providing your parental consent. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method if you choose."
Annoying, but presumably there are technical constraints that make this difficult. I hope they'll fix at some point but this at least means I can set it up. I don't use a credit card but I have one around that I can use to at least set up the accounts.

If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

How can I use the credit on my account instead of credit card to buy apps?

I have a gift card credit on my account but when I want to buy an app it takes me to my credit card details. How can I use my credit on my account instead of credit card?

You shouldn't have to put in a credit card, no, but from time to time the iTunes Store seems for some reason to try to insist on one. If just confirming your mailing address doesn't stop it from complaining, go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

HT1420 HOW do i get Apple to understand that i have a big family and my kids do not have credit cards or their own apple id so i have more than 5 computers?

I just spent over 2
$2000 on the new iPhone 5 for myself and my wife, we sitll use the other iphone4's that we have with other numbers and as we have a big family we have 7 computers that all need to work with itunes. We also have 5 ipads and i was thinking of getting another one but because of this problem the two new iphones and my macbook pro are usles devices when it comes to music and syncing is impossable... My kids do not have there own apple id as it needs a credit card, which they do NOT have. They are kids. so how can i get iTunes to allow me to get more computers online. I just bought an new/ refurbushed 17" mackbookpro as my old one was dropped and still works but do not want to take a chance for my work... anyway iTunes will not let me use this computer with iTunes either... AAAHHHHH I do not want to authorize and de-authorize computers as i use them and it looks like that is not possible anyway based on their statment that htis can only be done twice a year... HELP PLEASE. Thanks Richrd

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

How can I set up different profiles (accounts??) using the credit card?

Each member of my family would like to have there own itunes profile (or account??), but we'd like to use the same credit card. Is this possible? Does each family member need a unique email address for log in.
Thanks

So my sister and I have our own separate iTunes accounts, and she has her set up with her credit card. She let me use her credit card on mine but it keeps saying the security code is invalid. Then the credit card company called about her credit card activity. Are you sure it's not impossible to use the same credit card on our different accounts?

I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

How to remove credit card from iTunes

Because can't get no apps cause of the credit card information

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
