I recently remortgaged too. It was a simple decision in the end – I got all the flexibility that I needed at a lower interest rate which tracks the base rate. I save extra money because there are lower fees too.

@ No Debt Plan: Actually we made about $12,000 just last year from the credit card arbitrage, so it can easily beat out a refinance. I’m trying to find the optimal point where I can maximize the total from both.

I admire you perseverance to earn an extra buck. I think this is where the credit card games can get you in trouble. Are you going to make $12,000 from arbitrage? If you didn’t have all of the debt, you could refinance much easier.

Of course, if you never refinanced, then the arbitrage is helping you out.
