Do Virgin charge a BT fee?

Options
Hi all,

I know there has been lots of discussion about this topic. But I just want to confirm, before I apply for a Virgin card.

Thanks.

    When I rang up virgin to do a SBT, I asked if there was any charge for it, and she said no because I was in the introductory offer period.

    So I would say, apply for the card but just check with them before transfering.

    Thanks
  • B4 I applied for the Virgin card I rang up to check if they charged for BT's as the T & C say they MAY charge & was told that they didn't.

    Card arrived & tried to do SBT but was told they would charge me 2% max £35.00 so didn't do transfer & was going to cancel card.

    Then decided that it was probably worth paying the fee as it would still reduce the interest on my offset mortgage by about £300.00 so rang yesterday to do it only to be told that no I wouldn't be charged as it was in the introductory period!

    Go figure!!!
