Has anyone had any recent luck in getting 0% transfer recently?

Hi

I was just interested to see if anyone has had any luck getting a 0% balance transfer recently. It seems as though a lot of people even with good credit scores are being refused. I haven't managed to clear all debt on the 2 cards and have £1,200 left. I haven't got a good score due to a few late payments. So is this the end of 0% transferring or are some of you managing to get them and if so with whom? Please share:D :D

  • Managed citi-card for 4.5k a couple of weeks ago and egg have just offered me 10k. My wife was also just accepted for citi-card but don't know the credit limit yet, she only works part time too (2 days a week) so she was quite surprised when accepted.

    I had an offer from these several months ago, but hadn't heard of them before and my 0% wasn't due to end at the time. Who are they? is it an MBNA card? Also how long was the 0% interest for?

    Many Thanks to all for posting so far

    Citibank, but they've withdrawn from the 0% market now, and are concentrating on LOB deals.

    My credit score is okay-ish and I've been accepted for Nationwide Classic VISA card with 0% for 12 months (3% fee) with a £1,200 limit. I also applied for a bank account and been given a Flex Account with no debit card (got a dinosaur age ATM card. Nationwide is picky when it comes to issuing Debit Cards but not Credit Cards!

    Got accepted for Virgin last week, £3600 credit limit, but I've never missed a payment on anything previously.
  • My OH (who until 6 months ago was overlimit on 2 cards, and made no payments for 3 months on a 3rd card) has just been given 2x 0% deals, a 14 month with Virgin for £1k, and a 12 month with Barclaycard for £1250 :)
