hi folks
im after transfering a balance of around 3 g from my evil barclaycard to a 0% card.i already have an empty virgin card and i know they do a 0% for 9months for new customers are they likely to offer this to me if i ring em?
any opinions greatly appreciated
cheers kate

Can't do any harm to try. If they are not interested, you could always apply for another 0% card?

PS. Virgin charge a balance transfer fee in any case (capped at £50), so if you think you have a chance of success, I would apply for a new 0% card. You can find ones listed here which do not charge balance transfer fees.

Give them a call and ask. The worst case scenario is a ten minute phone call

it's worth a call/ apply on-line, but keep your Bcard too, I had problems with them but I went back, they do some very good life of balance transfer offers once your 0% runs out !

I just recorded similar experience in another thread. Didn't get as long a period as you but also got 0%. Far higher balance transfer involved though. Had tried a few months ago but didn't get anywhere. Glad I hung onto my Virgin card and tried again.
