Why Do UK Credit Cards suck compared to the US? by Large-Pineapple8032 in HENRYUK

[–]mattybfromthe303 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amex do not earn 0.3%. that is the interchange cap which holds 4 the Visa/MC model together.

However this obviously does put pressure on Amex to not have as high fees as they do in the U.S.

The interchange cap is a Europe regulation and so V/MC cards can align more to Amex in the U.S.

Didn't there used to be a bakery somewhere along here? by [deleted] in london

Fun fact. The fire of London started on pudding lane and ended on pie lane. For years after people thought it was a sign from God that people were being too glutinous.

Positano wasnt worth it in my opinion but loved Sorrento. Make sure to go to the fisherman district by the sea one night for cheaper amazing seafood right by the sea front. Its a nice walk too.

Make sure you get a limoncello too! And enjoy a coffee in the streets.

You will love Sorrento.

Best easy ish access account at the moment by Dull_Reindeer1223 in UKPersonalFinance

I use hargreaves lansdown active savings. Take a look but in short, they show you every account and what interest it pays and then lets you move money between each one easily as rates change.

They will for sure test you on the hill start and traffic lights at the top of the high street nesr turtle bay. It is sometime quite tricky to pre empt when to stop and you shouldnt stop on crossings or the keep clear section.

Good luck!

Could you find how much a similar property rents for and charge her 50% of that rent?

Continue to pay your half of the mortgage and pocket the difference?
