Credit card question.

Just got my Barclaycard credit card statement today, its the end of my 0% interest free period and I intend to clear this, and move it to my egg card 0% interest free anni offer. This begins in July - this Sat.

My egg card is currently zero balance at the moment so no probs their then.

My question:- I have until the 17th July to clear my Barclaycard before interest begins to be charged, however Barclaycard have also offered me a Life of Balance offer of 6.9% which I would quite like to use to pay off another debt.

Does anyone know when I can use the Life of balance offer, should I wait until after 17th July or is it OK before then if i have already cleared Barclaycard? Don't want to be stung with a part balance of 17.9%

Anyone know?

Many thanks.

    I believe the Barclaycard LOB offer of 6.9% run's out on the 20th July.
    Aiming to be debt free....but still off target
