MBNA Virgin American Express Card

I applied for an Virgin American Express Card with MBNA on Monday and recieved it this morning with a credit limit of £8700
I only wanted it to get the 3000 miles for for the Virgin Flying club. When I ativated it this morning I was told that I could transfer £8200 into my current account intrest free for 6 months. I would have to pay a 2% fee up to a maxium of £50
If I put it an account paying 5% net over 6 months I could make £205 - £50 = net gain of £155
I have used the card today to get the 3000 miles and will pay it off on Monday or Tuesday as soon as it appears on the account.
Am I missing something or it as easy as that?
Grateful of any advice or confirmation.
Have already used mine and wifes ISA allowance for the year.
