Drum roll!

The American Express card has arrived! :T :T :T
Have just transferred £2,575 to it @ 4.9% for the life of balance! Have got until 22nd September to transfer to it at that rate so towards the end of August I'm gonna request a limit rise then if possible whack any higher interest cards over to it!
