Which 0% Card for balance of 6k

Simple question. Which is the card where i'm most likely to be accepted for a balance transfer of 6k? I have been refused Abbey. And currently have an MBNA card with the 6k on it. My credit score is in the 900's. Thanks in advance.

    Try post office although I am not sure whether they are part MBNA. Remember you cannot BT if the cards are underwritten by the same people....

    You'll be safe with Post Office - they're backed by the Bank of Ireland, not MBNA.
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.

    Here's the list of cards in case you're interested:

    Of course this doesn't say how likely you are to get accepted for any... but I don't think anyone can really answer that.

    13 months at 0% is currently available to new customers from Halifax on balance transfers made in the first 90 days. There's a 3% BT fee.
    Minimum monthly payment is just 1% of the balance shifted ;)

    It's not an exact science of course but, IME (and judging from feedback here), you're more likely to get a generous credit limit with Halifax, than Tesco.

    That said, none of us knows in advance the limit we'll be handed. The only way to find out for certain is to apply.

    I second that. I've had a few cards over the years (not the Tesco one mind) and Halifax gave me the greatest limit of any card.
