    You could go for a main-stream player like MBNA who give out good credit limits then do a super balance transfer in to your current account. ;)
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Indeed. Any card from the MBNA stable including Virgin, Post Office or Egg allow you to transfer money from the credit card to your bank account for a fee of up to 3%. So if you transfer £1000 you could be charged £30 dependant on which card you choose. Be careful to make at least a minimum payment every month or your 0% offer will be removed and you will be charged at your standard rate.
  • Thanks alot. I'm going to do that through Virgin. Great stuff.
