Can you get a card if you don't have a regular salary?

in Credit cards
I have been self employed for a year now and I have primarily been living off my saving while I get my business off the ground. I have a few credit cards but I avoid using them as must as possible. That said I have been running down a balance on one with a 0% interest rate (HSBC) but the interest free period has elapsed and I am keen to transfer the outstanding balance to another 0% card however if I am honest I don't have an annual income to declare
Is it possible to get a card without giving salary information?
I will be starting a contract shortly which will give an income so I hope to pay off the balance shortly but I would like to avoid interest cost in the mean time.
Any ideas welcome.

I wouldn't have thought so, although credit card companies are a rule onto themselves I think.
Why don't you try ringing one of the other cards you already have and ask them if they are prepared to offer you a 0% balance transfer or at least a low rate? Which cards have you got?We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
