    £2000 would be £40.
    £1000 would be £20.
    Of course if you tranfered to a card which was not charging a fee you would save yourself the £60.

    Have a good read of the Balance Transfer and Super Balance Transfer articles written by Martin and look at the Providers A-Z list for credit cards with and without transfer fees.
    Oh yeah MAKE SURE THE FEE IS CAPPED AT 2% if you choose a card with a fee.
    If you read the cards summary box it should tell you there.
  • Once your bal is nil with m&s, phone and ask for any special offers, they gave me a further 6m @ 0% with no fee :smileyhea
    Don't waste your words I don't need,
    Anything from you.
    I don't care where you've been or,
    What you plan to do.
