No. MSE has got it right. Unfortuantely this isn't the first we heard (in fact one of the team members here has had the same experience), it seems the customer service team at HBOS have been given the wrong information. We have in writing and confirmed that there is no balance transfer fee - this is the correct information.

This is of course via the direct links as you can get these cards through other sites and there is a fee. I promise this is thoroughly checked out and i am talking to HBOS about getting its act together!

so should i still get the card?i applied through your link?
i have spent all morning on the phone to hbos customer services trying to get the fee waived and they are insisting it has to be paid.....they want me to send proof that there is no fee involved,but how can i do that?

Hi Martin

It is not just the links on this site that give you no Fee during the intro period on the NSPCC card. If you apply from NSPCC's own website it takes you to http://www.charitycard.co.uk/nspcc/default.asp?cmpcode=a where the Summary Box says

Balance Transfer Fee 2% or minimum £2 (on promotional rates except introductory offer)

Applying from your site takes you here http://www.charitycard.co.uk/nspcc/default.asp where the Summary Box says exactly the same

Balance Transfer Fee 2% or minimum £2 (on promotional rates except introductory offer)

Am I missing a subtle difference ?

yes i know but mse states this is the best transfer card without a fee involved!!!!can we sue mse for misleading/false info?about 2% should do it...

Yes, and this is correct, because as Clariman says that only applies to BTs outside the introductory offer...
