Came across this when browsing today - it's got a typical APR of 5.9% and no BT fees. This seems like a good idea for those wanting LOB deals or my idea is a home for my egg balance in between October (0% deal runs out) and January 07 (anniversary offer starts). Anyone see any problems or got any other thoughts?
