Get a card Dave but just make sure it’s not in your name.  If you’re in student accommodation there’s likely post arriving for residents long since departed.

Have butchers at the post pull out half a dozen names that have long since gone and apply for said cards in their name using the old electoral register to fill in the gaps.  Out of the six or so you’ll apply for the law of averages will probably mean that one will hit fruition and away you go.  Just don’t make all of the applications to the same company and raise the old alarm bells!

Remember CC fraud is handled by banks and not the police and it’s got to be pretty hardcore to be referred to the boys in blue.

If you get a bit twitchy use it as a cash card (watch the CCTV), empty it and job done.

The victim may not ever find out and if they do they can (with evidence) eventually get it written off.

Victimless crime - see!

Or instead of spending money on drinks, you could nick them off the side. A cheaper alternative to coke could be icing sugar.

Give your bird house that thatched cottage look by glueing 2 shredded wheat's to the roof.

If you got a bit of time (ahaha of course you have, you a student) you could always use matched betting for extra funds.

Stroooood posted about it a while back. I've made about £800 but I've been too lazy to continue or not had the cashflow. I think STFC_Manc has made loads more than that though. Best thing is if you do it properly you can get guaranteed returns.

Indeed I have, I have just passed the £3k mark in about 8 months.  I started with not a lot. If you need any info drop me a pm, I will give you a few links.

Credit cards are fine as a short term measure, especially with 0% on balance transfers and other such offers. Unless you're a muggins you can swap your balances about for a bit, and it won't cost you a thing. Only advisable if you're sensible with money and know for sure that you will pay them off at a fixed short term date.

I see you've now solved the problem, but in my experience it takes a while for CC's to get to you, and be operational. I needed some short term cash last year and got 3 credit cards delivered a couple of weeks after I'd found better solutions. You'd think that with the irresponsibility of the banks/firms involved they'd special delivery them to you on the day of application.

Or instead of spending money on drinks, you could nick them off the side. A cheaper alternative to coke could be icing sugar.
