Anyone have half hour to spare to help me choose right card for me.

Stooze to bank account
Hello. Been offered from Barclaycard Bank transfers - fee 1.9% until next year. So transfer what I have on my BC which is around 1500 to Nationwide where I get 5% per month. Good idea? Does this has any affect on your credit score? Thank you :-)

Stooze transfer issue
Hi, I have two stooze credit cards. One is a Barclaycard with a balance of £8,000 and the other is an M&S card with a balance of £5k. The M&S 0% offer ends in January 2014 and the Barclaycard offer ends in February 2014. Last night I decided I would try and transfer the M&S balance to a Lloyds 24 months 0% interest deal.…

Lloyds Fob Off
As a serious stoozer of many years I took out the Lloyds 0% balance transfer for 15 months on 15 Oct 12 on a 1.5% fee as a no brainer as we recently, as a household, would make just less than 5% on Nationwide Flex for a non taxpayer. My Oct 13 statement said 0% interest for the next month, as expected. However just got my…

Stoozing for a house purchase... possible?
Are cards still available where you can get a large cash sum up front for 12 to 18 months interest free (are these Super Balance Transfer cards?), or don't they exist any more? I had a look here, but the credit limits listed are very low or they have high "handling fees":…

any way to fast stooze into a mortgage...?
Stupid question perhaps and I'm guessing "just slow stooze it" is the right answer, but I was wondering if anyone had managed to convince Britannia/Co-op to take a lump sum overpayment from a credit card, and have it show as a purchase on the cc statement? That 16 month 0% card with Tesco looks like a bit of a winner,…

Transferring within cards
I have a balance on my card of around the £1000 mark, which varies around this near enough. I am out of interest free period but don't want to change cards at the moment as we are going to re-do our mortgage and don't want to have anything affect our credit score before this is done. My current card issuer has an offer of…

opening a 2nd card with the same bank for stoozing?
Hi people, I have a barclaycard which I was using for stoozing some time back - the interest free has run out and I have paid it off & put the direct debit to pay in full per month because I like the ability to use it for wireless payments... However, just looked to see if I can get another 0% card in conjunction with my…

Stoozing from my CC
Hello all, Yesterday I received a letter from my credit card (Barclaycard) offering me a 90% money transfer of my credit limit to my current account, minus any outstanding balances on my CC (£6000 credit limit). This is at 0% until May 2014, with 1.9% fee. This got me wondering whether I could make some profit by stoozing…

Freedom Reward Cards
Thinking about changing my Barclaycard for one of these. Does anyone have any opinion on them? They have a deal on that if you spend £300 in first 3 months you get £30 of vouchers. Plan would be to use it instead of debit card for groceries- paying balance in full.
