Beware the BT Trap........

in Credit cards
I have followed the advice from this fantastic site (less unglorious technicolour would be good!) and changed my credit card at the end of its zero interest period.
I signed up to my first affinity card - Macmillan Cancer Relief. The whole process took nearly three weeks - hardly hungry for business!!
Upon registering the new card, I was asked for the balance on the old card. This being a Halifax Credit Card.
As both cards are owned by Bank of Scotland, I was informed that the BT cannot happen. Back to square one? :eek:
A Consumer Warning notice would be handy, please :money:

Plenty of warning it seems. Maybe warn yourself next time.0

May be true, but rather harsh criticism for a newcomer!0
