  • I'm assuming you mean balance transfers with no balance transfer handling fee?

    There are very few deals like that in the current economic climate, do you have a balance to transfer from another card?

    There are some deals with no balance transfer fees but these are not 0%, just very low interest rate deals.

    No, unfortunately there are no 0% Balance Transfer NO FEE deal around at present.

    Back in August Virgin offered a 9 month deal with NO FEE which was heavily subscribed and pulled after a matter of days.

    You need to keep your eyes open to see if anything pops up in the future.

    Alternatively have a look at this list for the current best deals :

    Yes it was to transfer a balance on an existing card.
    Thnx anyway
  • Assuming your current balance is being charged at a standard rate then you will still save money even with the balance transfer fee.

    The Balance Transfer fee may sometimes seem a lot but have a look at the long term savings :wink:
