a stupid question!

im waiting for tescos to send me my credit card. in the mean time, im wanting to start my christmas shopping.

as i only ever use my CCs like debit cards, im not entirely sure whether this would come under a balance transfer or not, so please forgive my ignorance!

could i pay for the goods on one card, then pay off the balance of that card with tesco card when it arrives (to get the clubcard points) and then settle the bill with tescos?

    As far as I'm aware and for obvious reasons you can't pay off a credit card with a credit card! If you did this it would be a balance transfer! :)

    ...and would incur a 2% BT fee with Tesco.

    And you don't get clubcard points with BT's.
