For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Rachael, I know it's your job but I am sick and tired of Dorothy Perkins/Burtons staff saying - would you like 10% off this purchase, sign up now? - no I wouldn't, the interest rate is quite high compared with my existing cards. If any of your offers were going to tempt me it would be the 9 months o% balance transfer, but it would depend how much Arcadia were going to charge as a transfer fee. What I do then is balance transfer and at 8.5 months in, transfer it out to another 0% offer which my other cards send me quite often..... a £5 voucher for a £500 spend is only 1% return, I can get better than that by putting the £500 in my building society. Also - I never sign up for anything on the spot, there is nothing worse than hanging around in a shop whilst the assistant phones up for a credit check before they can offer you a card - or not, as happened to me ones. If I want a new card, I apply on-line after much consideration. Sorry!
That's an improvement then, Rachael - but the answer is still no, the interest rate is too high. I cannot bear being hassled when I shop, I don't now go into shops like Claire's where they follow you round with a basket (although I do understand that's because of shoplifters). There is a teller at my building society who I try to avoid because every time I go to the counter she tries to flog me something else - please - no....
fair enough lol, i hate getting hassled too thats why i am trying to just ask on the tills instead of every were else in the shop, the only way it will work is if we can hit target every day, thats why i am on trying to find ideas,
what is the best opening line when getting asked for a credit card ?

I don't think there is one. The minute they start to say 'excuse me, but can I interest you ... do you have a credit card ... what if I told you ... blah blah', I give them a 'talk to the hand' gesture. If they ask me again when I pass by five minutes later, they get a few choice words from me too, because I expect a good sales person to remember me whether I buy or not.
When I worked shops many, many moons ago, we were told to make ourselves approachable without approaching because the latter is the quickest way to send a potential customer away.
Perhaps a good start would be to catch someone's eye and comment on the weather or even just ask them if they're OK, before you move in for the killer line.
