how long did it take for the balance transfer to go on to your new card?

I actioned the balance transfer from egg (Visa) -> harley (HBOS MasterCard) on Saturday morning on-line. It is now (Thursday am) showing on the MasterCard account BUT not yet vanished from the egg (Visa) account.

The on-line transaction said it could take up to 10 days

has anyone else applied via charitycard.co.uk for one of these cards and had the usual on screen confirmation with an eta of 10 working days but no email confirmation or snail mail response?

I been 14 days now and my tarting days are under threat at this rate...
There is no contact number or email address for queries and I hoped someone may have info to share??

Many thanks

Just applied on line for the NSPCC card, was told at the end have been acepted with £7000 credit limit.

Here is hoping they have the messege about no BT fees!

thanks

Activated and did a balance transfer - no fee confirmed. Set up a DD for minimum payments by phone as well. Balance transfer will take upto 10 working days. Very happy.

Has anyone tried applying for more than one of these charity cards??
I have a large balance to transfer and may need a couple to spread it over.

:eek:

Hi All, Applied for a 'GOSH' BT tp o pay off another SBT which is coming to an end. The GOSH card has offered me MORE than I need to pay off the SBT card - is it possible over-borrow on this card. ie will they charge me to move the positive balance from my SBT card into my personal account?

Does anyone know and is there anything I need to be wary of?

regards

Condition 2.2 of the agreement which OH signed states 'Each month you must repay at least 2% of the amount you owe to us, etc' which is the same as the T's & C's on the website for the Macmillan card. However, the first bill came in today, asking for 3%. OH will ring when he gets home and see what they have to say.

OH rang HBOS this evening and the person he spoke to said all affinity cards have a minimum repayment of 2% and that there had been a mistake. He first told my husband to only pay 2%, not the amount requested, but I told OH that it had been set up by DD. The guy at HBOS then said they would amend the DD and take 2% and not 3%. Personally, I am unconvinced, and will wait with baited breath for June 6 and see what comes out of the current account.k

I am considering applying for one of the Charity Cards. I phoned The Bank Of Scotland Card Services (as I couldn't find a phone number on the NSPCC charity card website) and have just been told that the NSPCC has a 2% BT Fee, and that the 0% period is only 6 months, which is obviously different to what their own website is stating http://www.charitycard.co.uk/nspcc/default.asp

As a result I am still reluctant to apply for a NSPCC card - can anyone give me a phone number that will hopefully get me to someone who realises that there is no BT fee during the introductory period?
