Will applying for a card affect my credit rating?

If you’ve recently opened several credit accounts or applied for a number of credit facilities in a short space of time, this could reduce your credit rating. This is because lenders wish to lend responsibly and avoid customers taking on more credit than they can afford.

What is a cash limit?

This is the maximum amount of cash you can use for cash transactions, such as withdrawing cash. It is part of your credit limit.

How do you decide my credit limit?

We decide your limit based on information in your application and the outcome of the credit search performed via the credit reference agency.

Can I increase my credit limit?

You can ask us if we’ll consider an increase to your credit limit, but this will depend on your personal circumstances, and we’ll make an assessment before deciding.

We regularly assess the limit available to you to ensure you have the appropriate level of credit available. This assessment is based on a combination of external bureau data and internal performance data. We’re committed to lending responsibly, and our lending policy ensures you don’t become overburdened with credit.

Can I decrease my credit limit?

Yes, we can decrease your credit limit to any amount, as long as it’s not lower than your balance.

Can NewDay Ltd change my credit limit?

As part of our commitment to ensure that we are lending responsibly, we conduct regular reviews of all our accounts and we may decide to decrease your credit limit or to offer you an increase. We’ll provide 30 days’ notice of any change and you will have the opportunity to tell us that you do not want the increase, and/or that you don’t want to be considered for an increase in the future.

What happens if I go over my credit limit?

If you go over your credit limit you’ll be charged a £12 fee in line with your terms and conditions. You’ll also need to immediately repay the amount that you are over your limit by. Any promotional offers you may have will also come to an end.

Protecting you and your card

How can I protect my card from fraud and misuse?

To avoid your card and account falling into the wrong hands, you should activate and sign the back of it as soon as you receive it.

Please memorise and destroy your PIN as soon as you (or your additional cardholder) receive it, and don’t write it down (unless you do it in such a way that it would be impossible for someone else to recognise).

If you change your PIN, make sure you choose it carefully. Never give your card or account number to anyone else and don’t allow anyone else to see your PIN when entering it at a Chip and PIN terminal. If you have reason to suspect that someone has unauthorised access to your account, you should report it to Debenhams Card Services on 0333 220 2519 immediately.

What should I do if I don’t recognise a transaction on my account?

Please call Debenhams Card Services on 0333 220 2519 straightaway.

You should report it to us immediately on our Lost and Stolen Card Helpline on 0333 220 2519. We’ll stop all transactions and will arrange for a replacement card to be sent to you as soon as possible.

Call Debenhams Card Services on 0333 220 2519 immediately, so that we can investigate it.

In what circumstances can you suspend use of the card?

We can suspend your right to use the card or the account if we reasonably consider that it is necessary because of reasons relating to the security of your card or account; suspected unauthorised or fraudulent use of the card; or if you have broken the terms of your agreement.

What is a preauthorised transaction? What happens if I enter into one?

In certain instances (e.g. when booking a hotel or hiring a car) the transaction amount may be unknown at the point you authorise the transaction. In such cases, the retailer will seek to block funds temporarily from your account. This is what we call a preauthorised transaction – it results in the relevant amount being deducted from your available balance only (it is not however processed as a transaction).

Please note that we will only block funds if you have authorised with the retailer the exact amount of funds that are to be blocked from your card.

We will also release the funds once we are made aware of the actual transaction value.

What is estimated interest?

The estimated interest amount gives you an indication in advance of how much interest you could be asked to pay on your next statement, to help you manage your finances more effectively.

The estimated amount is based on the following assumptions:

• You only pay the minimum payment amount shown on your statement
• Your balance doesn’t increase before your next statement date due to any more purchases, cash advances, Balance Transfers and Money Transfers.

The minimum payment is applied to your account on the due date. The way we calculate interest doesn’t change. If we’ve let you know about any change in your interest rate, the estimated interest will take this change into account

The amount also doesn’t take into account any delayed payment promotions we may offer in the period ahead.

Will I be charged extra for using my card abroad? (only applicable to Debenhams Credit Card)

You can make purchases at over 36 million places worldwide, wherever you see the Mastercard logo.

Please note that occasionally, for fraud prevention and security purposes, transactions may be declined or referred when your card is used abroad. NewDay Ltd adheres to a number of financial sanction regimes which may affect your ability to use your card abroad. For details of any current restrictions, we recommend calling Debenhams Credit Card Services on 0333 220 2518 before travelling.

All transactions in currencies other than sterling will be converted into sterling on the day they are added to your Account at the Payment Scheme Exchange Rate (at the date and time the transaction is processed) together with the Non-Sterling Transaction Fee (2.75%).

The Payment Scheme Exchange Rate used may differ from the rate when the transaction was made as exchange rates vary on a daily basis. The Payment Scheme Exchange Rate used when such transactions are made, and the amount of the transactions in sterling following application of the exchange rate will be set out in your statement. For an indication of the Payment Scheme Exchange Rate you can visit www.mastercard.com.

What do you mean by APR?

APR stands for the Annual Percentage Rate, and is the annualised cost of credit. It also includes any fees, such as an annual fee, but not default charges.

Where can I find my APR?

The APR applicable to your account will be shown on your credit agreement when you open your account.

Can I withdraw cash on my card?

You can withdraw cash on your Debenhams Credit Card from any cashpoint that displays the Mastercard logo. There is a cash advance fee of 3% of the amount of the transaction or £3 (whichever is greater) every time you withdraw cash. You can withdraw cash up to your cash limit which will be displayed on your statement. Interest will be charged from the date of the cash transaction even if you pay off your balance in full.

When do you charge interest?

We charge interest from the date the amount is debited from your account. If you pay your balance off in full by the due date every month, you will not be charged interest. However, if you use your card to make cash transactions, interest will be charged from the date of the transaction even if you pay your balance in full.

Why would you change my interest rate?

We may change interest rates for the reasons set out in your terms and conditions. These include to reflect rate moves in the market, or if your personal circumstances change. We will always give you at least 30 days’ notice in writing of an interest rate increase, and another 30 days to tell us that you would like to close your account and pay down the balance at the existing rate.

What other charges may be applied to my account?

You can see other rates and charges in the Summary Box. These are also shown in your credit agreement.

How much will I have to pay to my account each month?

The minimum payment will be the sum of

• 1% of the Standard Balance shown on your statement (including the interest, Default Fees and arrears) plus
• The amount of any interest, and Default Fees charged to your Account in the current Statement Period plus
• The amount of any arrears, which are immediately repayable; subject to this being a minimum of £5. If your total Standard Balance is less than £5, the minimum payment due will be the total outstanding balance. Any over limit amount is immediately repayable.

How are payments applied to my account?

If you don’t pay the Standard Balance in full in any month, we‘ll apply your payment to (i) Transactions and Promotional Transactions (ii) any Account fee charged in connection with a Transaction or Promotional Transaction, (iii) other Account fees and to (iv) any Default Fees, which are shown on your statement as follows:

1) It will be allocated to the different amounts of your outstanding statemented Standard Balance that are charged at higher interest rates first, then those that are charged at lower interest rates.

2) If interest is charged at the same rate on different amounts, we’ll apply your payment to the different amounts in the following order: Cash Transactions, Money Transfers, payment protection insurance premiums, Balance Transfers, other Promotional Transactions, Purchases and other Transactions. If you have more than one Promotional Transaction at the same rate, your payment will be applied first to the Promotional Transaction that has the earliest Promotional Period start date.

3) If you pay more than the Standard Balance shown on your statement in any month, we’ll apply your payment to Transactions on your Standard Balance which aren’t shown on your statement, before any Transactions on your Buy Now Pay Later Balance which are shown on your statement.

Where an Account fee is charged in connection with a Transaction or Promotional Transaction, it will be applied by reference to that Transaction type. Otherwise it will be applied after other Transactions as set out in 2) above.
We’ll apply any remaining payment to Transactions not yet shown on your statement in the same order as set out above.

What should I do if I am experiencing financial difficulties?

If you’re having difficulties with your repayments, please call Debenhams Credit Card Services on 0333 220 2519 as early as possible, and we can suggest ways to help.

To change your payment method or details, just call our Customer Service Team on 0333 220 2519

Can I grant a third party access to my online payment account?

Following changes to the law, from 13 January 2018 you can allow an authorised Third Party Provider (TPP) to have access to your online servicing account.   These TPPs are sometimes known as Account Information Service Providers and offer such services as the ability for you to look at all your bank and credit card accounts through one Mobile App or Website.   You can only use a TPP where you have registered for Online Account Manager.

If you choose to use a TPP, please ensure you understand how their service works, such as how they access your account with us and how they will protect your data. Please be aware that:

The terms and conditions of your card will still apply.

We will give the TPP access to your account information only, and in the same way as if you were accessing it directly.  For example, they will be able to see your recent transactions and your outstanding balance.   The TPP is not permitted to change any of your preferences, direct debit details or any information about you and cannot initiate a payment from your account.

Although you must not, generally, give the security details you use to log-in to our online service to anyone else, you may give them to a TPP if it is necessary to do so.  They should agree with you that they will keep these details safe and will only use them for the purpose(s) you have agreed with them.

We can refuse to allow a TPP to access your account where we are concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access by that TPP.

All TPPs must be authorised or registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (or another EEA regulator) and so you must check, from the information that the TPP gives you before you use their services, that the TPP is authorised or otherwise permitted by law to provide such services. If you give your security details to a TPP that is not authorised, we will assume it is you authorising us to give access to your account. If we become aware that an unauthorised third party is using your security details, we will block access to your account.

Do I need to consent to you using my information to provide me with payment services?

When you enter into a credit agreement with us, you explicitly consent to us accessing, processing, and retaining any information you provide to us, for the purposes of providing payment services to you.

Please note that this does not affect any rights and obligations you or we have under the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 or Data Protection Act 2018 and you may withdraw this consent by closing your account. If you do this, we will stop using your data for this purpose, but may continue to process your data for other purposes as set out in our Privacy Policy.

 Can I request a copy of my terms and conditions?

You can request a copy of your terms and conditions at any time whilst your account is open – to do so please contact Customer Services on 0333 220 2519.

Alternatively you can try placing your order again using a different payment card or visit a bureau to buy foreign currency.

Why have I not received an order confirmation email?
To ensure we process your order correctly, your confirmation may fall into a queue. In addition to this, during periods of peak business we experience high volumes of orders, therefore, confirmations can also be delayed by up to three hours after your order has been placed.

Please also check your spam folder to ensure that your confirmation email is not in there.

We’ll send your policy to the email address you give us. Some internet providers filter out automated e-mails as SPAM, so please check your SPAM/junk folder if you haven’t received your e-mail yet.

We offer travel insurance for all these variations, however we do offer discounts to couples and families. We can also cover you with single trip travel insurance, and annual multi-trip travel insurance.

Yes, each adult can travel independently. Dependent children can travel independently as long as they are accompanied at all times by a responsible adult.

You can insure up to four (4) dependent children under the age of 18.

You can travel as many times as you wish on your Annual Multi-trip insurance. However, the areas covered are dependent on the type of policy you buy.

You can buy annual insurance for Europe, Worldwide excluding USA and Canada or Worldwide which allows you to travel anywhere in the world (as long as the Foreign & Commonwealth Office has not restricted travel to a particular country).

You do need to take into consideration the length of time that you are travelling, as any individual trip must not exceed 31 days.

Unfortunately you cannot be covered if you have already left the UK.

Please ensure that you take a copy of your certificate of insurance and the full policy wording, as these documents contain important numbers that you may need while travelling.

If you have lost your passport, you need to report the loss or theft to the local police as soon as possible, as you’ll need the crime reference details they give you for the Lost or Stolen Passport Notification form.

You should also report the loss or theft to the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office. You can obtain details of your local FCO office wherever you are by visiting the FCO website. The FCO will issue you with replacement travel documents so that you can travel back to the UK.

Unfortunately there’s no cover under this policy if your travel agent or tour operator goes into administration. (If they’re an ABTA member you can submit a claim to them for the cost of your holiday.)

If you’ve booked each component part of your holiday separately (flight, accommodation, car hire) and one of these companies goes into administration, you can put in a claim on your travel insurance policy.

You must report any thefts or losses to the police or relevant authority within 24 hours and get a written report. These reports are the only proof that the loss or theft actually occurred, and without them the underwriter cannot make any payment to you.

If you leave your luggage and personal items unattended in a public place then the underwriter cannot be held responsible for any resulting claim. You should always take reasonable care to look after your property and treat it as if it were not insured. There is no cover for cash or valuables left in an unattended vehicle at any time, even if the vehicle is locked.

If your departure from or to the UK is delayed for at least 24 hours from the scheduled time of departure as a result of strike or industrial action, the insurer will compensate you as follows:

Travel delay – you’re covered for the amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits for the first full 24 hour period of your delay (up to the maximum amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits), as long as you get a statement confirming the length and exact nature of the delay in writing from your carrier.

Abandonment – if you choose to cancel your trip following a delay of more than 24 hours after the scheduled departure time (and obtain written confirmation from your carrier), you’ll receive up to the amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits for travel and accommodation costs which you have paid (or have contracted to pay).

Transport cancellation – if the public transport on which you are booked to travel is cancelled at the final departure point from or to the UK, and no alternative can be provided within 24 hours of the intended departure time, you’ll receive up to the amount shown in the Schedule of Benefits for the cost of a replacement ticket for each insured person.

Yes, your sunglasses and prescription glasses are included as valuables on our policies. The maximum amount you can receive for sunglasses or prescription glasses of any kind is £150.

Yes, you can buy your policy in a matter of minutes. You can apply online or call us on 0343 658 0371. Our opening hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm (we are closed on Sunday).

Yes, we cover weddings abroad. However, you will need to take out separate travel insurance to cover your travel and accommodation.

Yes, we cover civil partnerships.

No, the bride, groom or civil partner’s main residence must be in the UK. They must have been living permanently in the UK for at least six months before buying this policy, and they must be registered with a medical practitioner in the UK.

No, you will need to take out separate travel insurance to cover your honeymoon.

The posting of a serving member of the UK armed forces is covered providing you are not aware of any impending/confirmed posting or call up for duty overseas around the time of the wedding, prior to purchasing a wedding insurance policy.

Yes, the hire of portable toilet facilities to use alongside a marquee is covered under the marquee section.

This covers the bride and groom if they are held liable for any injury to a third party person or damage to third party property. It doesn’t cover accidents caused by anyone else, such as guests, and doesn’t cover any liability that may arise purely because of any contract, such as the wedding venue. This cover doesn’t apply for weddings taking place within the USA or Canada.

Public liability is an extension of personal liability and covers everyone invited to the wedding or reception, if held liable for accidental injury to a third party person or damage to third party property. This cover doesn’t apply for weddings taking place outside of the UK.

Couples who are in the armed forces may choose to walk under an arch of swords. These are usually borrowed from their regiment and are often very valuable. This insurance feature provides cover for loss or damage to the swords for an additional premium.

Failure of Suppliers provides cover for the irrecoverable deposits and additional costs of arranging an alternative if your pre booked and contracted wedding services supplier is made bankrupt or goes into liquidation.

Yes, we cover up to two ceremonies and two receptions on separate dates as standard. However, the reception date must be within 56 days of your wedding ceremony date.

The level of cover you need depends on the size, type and cost of your wedding and reception. To work out your level of cover, consider all of the separate costs associated with the event. Take the following into consideration:

• Cancellation or rearrangement of your wedding
• Loss or damage of the bride’s dress, the groom’s outfit, wedding rings, wedding gifts and wedding cakes
• Failure of all your wedding suppliers (photographers, caterers, hoteliers, chauffeurs, etc.)
• Personal liability insurance in case you’re held liable for an accident or injury during the wedding or reception
• If you’re hiring ceremonial swords or marquees, you should consider additional cover for these items

You should buy a wedding insurance policy as soon as you make any bookings or pay any deposits towards your wedding. Our policies can be purchased up to two years before your wedding date.

Cancellation and Rearrangement is just one aspect of cover offered by the policy, and is often the cover level that is advertised the most. This doesn’t mean that all of the cover levels will add up to the Cancellation limit.

It’s important to review the cover you have to ensure it’s still suitable. If you think that you may need a higher level of cover, please visit www.debenhamsweddinginsurance.com and log into My Account to upgrade online, or contact our Customer Services team on 0800 440 2430. Lines are open Monday to Friday 8am – 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 9am – 1pm.

Any services that are already booked will automatically be covered from the date the insurance is paid for and issued.

No, this would be classed as ‘disinclination to marry’ and is not covered under the policy.

No, you will need to take out separate event insurance.

We don’t provide cover for wedding planners who have financial responsibility for the wedding budget, i.e. you provide the planner with a lump sum to arrange and pay for the individual services on your behalf. We would cover a wedding planner if you contract with them for the planning service only and contract directly with your individual suppliers separately.

Common policy exclusions include the following:

• Medical conditions
• Duration the dress is covered before the wedding
• Conditions relating to cover for gifts at the wedding reception
• No cover for failure of the suppliers of gift lists
• No cover for failure of the suppliers of wedding planner services
• No cover for marquees, ceremonial swords or public liability for weddings taking place outside of the UK or personal liability cover for weddings taking place within the USA or Canada
• No cover if you decide not to get married

You can purchase pet insurance for your dog or cat as soon as they are over eight weeks old. There is no upper age limit, apart from death from illness cover. The upper age limit for death from illness cover is 8 years.

You can pay your premium in a lump sum by debit card or credit card. Or, if you prefer, you can spread the cost of your annual pet insurance policy over the year by paying by Direct Debit (subject to status, 0% APR).

If you’re not satisfied with the cover provided by your policy, you have 14 days to cancel from the date you receive your documents. As long as no incidents have arisen which could result in a claim under your policy for the death or loss of your pet, the premium you’ve paid will be refunded, minus an administration charge (please refer to our Terms of Business for full details).

If you exercise your right to cancel after the 14-day period, as long as no incidents have arisen which could result in a claim under your policy, the part of the premium you haven’t yet used minus an administration charge will be refunded. If the amount due when you cancel your policy is more than the amount you’ve paid, you must pay Debenhams Pet Insurance the difference.

If a claim has been made, or any incidents have arisen which could result in a claim under your policy, your cover will be cancelled but your premium won’t be refunded. If you’re paying by instalments, you must still pay the balance of the full annual premium.

Debenhams Pet Insurance also has the right to cancel your policy at any time by giving you seven days’ notice in writing which will be sent to your address. If your policy is cancelled, the part of your premium you haven’t yet used will be refunded as long as no claims have been made.

Once you’ve entered your payment details, the payment confirmation page will be displayed. This page is confirmation of your cover, and will give you your policy number and cover start date. Your electronic policy documents will follow shortly.
