balance transfer info

Options
Hi

I have finally been accepted back into mainstream credit with a flybe card (thanks to those on this forum who enlightened me on this beautiful piece of plastic).

My question is - I plan to pay off 2 credit cards (vanquis and capital one) as well as £200 cash for something. Is it possible to transfer the overall amount into my account from flybe card (and then pay cards) ? Or is it cheaper to do 2 balance transfers for the cards and draw out the remainder out seperately ?

Apologies if this is a stupid question. But its something I know nothing about.

Cheers

    I don't think that Flybe CC allows you to do what they call "super balance transfer" which allows you to transfer some funds from your card to current account, only a few providers offer that option (MBNA one of them). So you will have to do 2 different BT from your vanquis & capital one card. Generally you can transfer up to 95% of your credit limit
