Edcon Store Cards (Monthly Fee Applicable Now)

[Brawler]

Just paid up and closed.

It was useful for flights, Medicross doctors/dentists. Having the card made me use Edgards/CNA/Boardmans a lot more than I will now.

Stupid move imo.

you have to go in and accept the t&c's i think. gonna pay my account and just utilize the benefits.

They just started charging my wife out of the blue. She promptly closed her account.

Also paid up and closed mine this week. Mrs will do hers this weekend. This must be hurting them.

Those of you closing your accounts are giving them cash, something that they are short on. The default rates on clothing accounts are quite high.

Thats assuming you actually buy at Edgars. Their prices have steadily increased over the past few years (and quality still the same) to the point that we never buy there anymore. We just had the accounts to help with buding a credit score.

I can buy chino's at Woolworths for the same price but better quality.

My wife has found Edgars clothes in Jet for a fraction of the price as well.

The one we have here in town is quite good. Buy one get one free. Specials like socks and a few weeks ago work shirts for cheap-cheap.

Hurting Edcon Group Agreed. Now I won't buy things unnecessary during promotions

just got my statement. still got the 6 months facility. no monthly fee being said. but i havent been into the store yet.

im just keeping it for the lifestyle benefit though. if i can still claim without having to accept these terms then id be comfortable with that.

I have no clue, the account has pretty much been at 0 until a little while ago.

My wife cancelled her card after being a loyal customer for about 35 years. She pays money into the card and use it as she needs it. She reckons she may just as well pay the money into her credit card and use it from there.
