.....can you pay a credit card with another credit card? I was wondering if i could do this a number of times to keep the cash i have spent on them in my online saver a bit longer.

Normally you cannot. However, you can ask CC1 to make a BT from CC2. This transaction is an equivalent of payment from the CC1 to the CC2. Unfortunately, BTs are classed as cash transactions and outside introductory periods start incurring interest from the day of transaction. As a result you cannot gain anything by doing this and even lose because you pay interest on two balances a few days during the transfer. Also majority of CCs charge 2%-2.5% for BTs.
