Offset Mortgages and stoozing

Hi,

just after a bit of advice on offset mortgages. Our current mortgage is coming to the end of the initial 2 yr deal - I'm currently looking at offset mortgages for our re-mortgage. I just wondered if anyone had taken advantage of cash available from 0% credit cards - transfering the balance into their offset account for the duration of the 0% deal, in order to save on interest payments..?

Looks like this could be a moneysaver, even including the balance transfer charge - is there anything I'm missing here?

Any advice welomed.

Regards,

cfol
