in Credit cards
Hi,
I currently have an Egg card with a credit limit of £1850 I use this card all the time and always pay it off quickly. I also have a Virgin card with a credit limit of £1500 and currently owe £1130 I only used this card once to do a BT and have recently had my interest raised to 34.9%
I really want to get rid of the Virgin card but i can't afford to pay it all off in one go. Can anyone recommend me a Card that as at least 9 months interest free on balance transfers and at least a £1200 credit limit?
Thanks

Whichever credit card you decide on, make sure it's Chip & Signature vice Chip & PIN. (Unless you wish to use it for cash withdrawals at ATMs).0

Mint do a good card, mind you the credit limit will be decided on you not on what card you get accepted for!0

Thanks guys
Which one should i go for out of the Mint and Barclaycard?
Which one would i most likely get accepted for with a credit limit of at least £1200 because i don't want to have lots of applications on my credit report?0 -

I decided to go with Mint, the application process was simple and very quick. At the end of the process i was told my application was successful, my credit limit is £1850 and i'll receive my Mint card soon. :T

Well done Pinchez you got a good card there m8. did it say what the apr was after the 0% offer runs out, plus it,s a good deal they have on their zero percent offer as well. I like Mint they seem way more decent than Virgin/Mbna.
btw how long have you had your Virgin card then ??
