Balance Transfer rules

My parents have a Natwest Platinum Mastercard offering 0% for 13 months on a balance transfer. I have a card with MBNA charging 35%. You can see where I am going with this. :beer:

Can you balance transfer from my card to my parents? Or do you only qualify for balance transfers from cards in your own name?

Thanks,

Steve

    You can transfer the money to anyone who wants your debt in their name;)
  • That's generous of them! :)

    I presume you would still get the same low interest rate?
