in Credit cards
I applied for the Amazon credit card a couple of months ago just for the £15 voucher and was turned down, now i know this is HBOS and i have been turned down by them over a year ago....anyway! getting to the point, i've got a HSBC credit card with around £1000 on it and need to transfer the balance in June. Before this i had a Morgan Stanley and they offered me a longer 0% period but i'd already done the transfer (which was for 9 months as apposed to MS offering another 6 months), i said i wasn't interested and the lady said i should give them a call when i need to transfer again....does this mean i'm going to be accepted?....also, i don't know whether i should wait til June or go for the Barclaycard offering 10 months interest free now....as this period of time would be perfect.....
Any ideas guys?

However, nobody can guarantee that Barclaycard offer will last till then.[/font]Why six weeks before?
The rough time it takes to apply for a new card and balance transfer to it (shift debt from the old card to the new one, hopefully at a cheaper rate) is six weeks, so this is when you need to know.0 -
I think their TV advert says the current offer ends on 26th April.grumbler wrote:However, nobody can guarantee that Barclaycard offer will last till then.0
