Store card balance transfer advice

Hi all,

Myself and my girlfriend have recently moved in together and are in the process of laying all our debts out on the table for the other to see (maybe we should have done this before moving in!). She has a store card (boo, hiss) with a balance of around £230 which I am planning to transfer to a new Barclaycard recommended here on the site.

Barclaycard will only accept balance transfers of £250+. If I transfer £250 from the store card and put it in credit, and my girlfriend then closes the account, will we be issued with a cheque for that £20 or so that we will be in credit??

Apologies if this is the question of a complete newbie, but then that it what I am! :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance,
PJB.

    first of all can you BT from the storecard... its not often possible as many storecards do not have a 16 digit visa / mastercard number
    EU tariff on agricultual product 12.2%
    some dairy products 42.1% cloths 11.4%

  • The card has a 16 digit number across the front. It's a New Look card provided (according to the back of the card and the statement) by IKANO Financial Services, Nottingham.
