    But I have £6000 already on my capital one card (running at 0%), if I then put £2000 onto Capital One from Egg and transferred £2000 from Capital One to Asda, they would send the 0% debt to Asda leaving the £2000 egg debt on the Capital One card at 15%. I couldnt transfer the whole Capital One debt to Asda as my Cap1 limit is £8,000 and my Asda one only £2600 :-(

    Heck its complicated isnt it!! LOL x

    Yup, I did indeed miss the point - sorry!!! :o

    I can transfer the Egg to HBOS to ASDA, so long as Asda honour the 0% even though Im outside of the 1 month transfer period. I will have to speak to them, but they are based in India and I hate calling them because I always end up with high blood pressure trying to explain these complicated things to someone who doesnt speak english as their first language!

    Would mean two BT fees though.

    I was told that the egg card would be honoured when the 0% balance transfer problem was sorted out. I am still puzzled as we are being told it is a technical problem!!!

    I know, but as opposed to paying 18% on a large debt every month? Would rather pay 3% of the balance twice than a stack of interest every month for the next X months.

    @Viallis- Thats great news, lets hope they sort it out quick. WIll give them 2 weeks and if its not done by then I'll transfer to HBOS and to ASDA.
