I've been using this card for several years and have taken advantage of numerous balance transfer and interest free offers made available. The most recent offer was a balance transfer for 15 months with a 3% handling fee - this is effectively a 15 month loan at negligible cost, allowing me to free up money for investment or other purposes. Most cards do not offer ongoing promotions like this.
I am fanatical about not missing payments and as a result have never paid a penny in interest, and never had my underlying interest rate significantly increased. Yes, the constant phone calls and advertising mail are slightly annoying.
I feel for reviewers who have got into trouble by not "playing the game" by MBNA's rules, but so long as you do this card can be a real asset.

After years of the MBNA Platinum Plus Credit Card with 5.9% fixed interest, and a high credit limit, I finally took them up on their many offers to take advantage of the low interest rate. 2 weeks later I receive a packet of new rules includung an announcement that I am now on a variable rate @ 8.89%. Everything was fine, and then all of the sudden it wasn't. I'll be looking for new terms else where and will cancel this card as soon as I can.
