Just about to apply for one of the fee free charity cards to transfer a balance from my wife's credit card. Is this ok, or do any balance transfers have to be in your own name?

    No problem with that - as long as the card you are xfering from is not from the same provider.

    That may be a problem then - I was planning on taking out a charity card to transfer from a Sainburys card, both run by HBOS if I'm not mistaken....

    According to http://www.stoozing.com/cards.htm, you are correct. Shame about that. I would ring them to double-check - you never know!
