    Cycle to work scheme - for against?

    Just having a chat with some colleagues; some for, some against the scheme.

    I've had a read through the guide and the way i see it is a 0% loan on a bike and accessories with no guarantee if its yours at the end because its owned by your employer.
    I understand that most people end up making a token payment at the end of the 12 months and most people end up saving about 10% on the total purchase price although they won't give any decisions prior/during the agreement.

    Anyone on here make use of the scheme? I was thinking about getting the Mrs a bike for Christmas

    Thanks

            It wouldn't be any good for me either when I'm working...far too much stuff to take to fit on a bike.

              Think we have all decided against this scheme. Rather get it on a 0% card and actually own then bike outright

              Thanks for posting!

                Do you have access to a 0% card mate?

                  No mate. I've got a Flybe which i used to transfer my Tesco Mastercard balance at 0% although that doesn't include purchases. I am going to follow your advice and apply for another 0% transfer card with my own bank in new year (Lloyds) when i hopefully achieve 3 years clear of adverse. I wonder if the Lloyds/TSB dis-association has made any difference to their lending practices

                  If successful, i could close the Flybe and open another Creation based on for 0% purchases if need be although all this would be after Christmas :

                  Thanks,

                  SA

                    You can have upto 7 creation cards at any one time, all they ask is that you wait around 3-6 months before reapplying (but if successful then you can reapply every month if you wanted)... Why not get another 0% one - like the world card

                    my mate on mse now has 6 (all creation) all applied for in the last 2 years. Idiot will be screwed before too long

                      Is it worth trying now mate (not sure if things have changed since i was blown out here, where you suggested waiting six months before reapplying)?

                      At least he knows where to come if that does happen mate!
