in Credit cards
Hello,
I am looking for a new 0% balance transfer credit card to transfer my current balance over to and when I have looked around it seems that the best long term 0% cards are ones that I have had about two years ago. I was wondering if I would be able to apply for them and get the 0% offers that they advertise?
Many Thanks,
Kathryn

Had you cancelled them? If so you should be fine after 2 years - most seem to be ok to reapply after 6-12 months.
If you havent cancelled them then you wouldnt be able to do as you ask0 -
I cancelled them to transfer the balance onto a new card so it sounds as though I would be able to reapply.
Thank you for your help :rotfl:0 -
Nationwide won't let you have two bites of the cherry...
Everyone else seems OK with it, ranging from Capital One (almost) immediately to Halifax/M&S after 30 days to Egg after 12 months....any introductory rate or offer is not available if you have previously held a Nationwide credit card with an introductory rate or offer.

Thank you very much! I will have to scout around on their websites!0

Yorkshire boy, just checking cos it seems to good to be true
and so alarm bells are ringing that I've just not understood you properly. I have currently an M&S card which I really like for the vouchers but I'm coming to the end of the 0%. If I cancel at the end of the 0% and reapply in March I can get the six months 0% all over again? This would be ideal for me....
You can tell I'm a good MS because I worry if it looks too good to be true 0 -
That was my experience just over a year ago, and it was also confirmed to me recently by M&S when I called to ask them. I'm not closing my own card just yet, because it has a good limit and I'm trying to bag a 0% fee-free BT retention offer (something they were known to do a while ago).belfastgirl23 wrote: »If I cancel at the end of the 0% and reapply in March I can get the six months 0% all over again?

Re your own situation, at 0.5% (for non-M&S spends) there are far better cashback/reward cards available.0 -

Slight deviation - YorkshireBoy would you keep us updated as to how you get on with this. I also have an M&S card that has a decent limit and has been 'idle' for a few months.0
