Charged a 3% BT fee for Just 1 month Int Free

in Credit cards
As the title explains, I paid a 3% fee to transfer a £3000 balance from Barclaycard to Virgin. Unfortunately I didn't realise that there was just 1 month left of the interest free period, so as of December I am paying interest. Is there anything I can do or do I just look for a new card with a long Int Free period or low apr for life of balance transferred?

Yep just look for a new card and put it down to experience.0

May be worth you ringing up Barclaycard and transferring it back at the 6.9% life of balance rate if you can't get another 0% card to move it to.0
