Extended Balance Transfer
My balance transfer will come to an end in January. I then intend to move the remaining balance to another 0% card if possible, however I was wondering why none of the lenders offer to extend your current 0% period and charge you the fee again on the remaining balance? I am aware they wish to charge you interest at the end…

The money left your account immediately? If you buy goods with a debit card, you dont…

capital one classics extra: load-free oversea spending?
Load-free overseas spending. When you spend abroad on this card, there's no load added to the transaction (most cards charge around 3%). However, there's still a charge for withdrawing cash abroad, plus interest of 34.9% APR until the balance is paid off in full. --- so what does this actually mean? I used this card and…

I am finding it difficult to find a home for my £11k stooze in 0%. Can't seem to get any credit card currently even though I meet all payments etc without any problem.
