What's the best temporary credit card?

David_Bowley

I've been offered an excellent 0% deal by Barclaycard til 2010, and the money on there is currently sitting at 29.9% so I'd like to temporarily shift it away to another card and then shift it back after the statement comes through.

What's the best credit card to do this manouvuere? It sounds silly but I don't want to "waste" a really good deal that I can only get once in my lifetime just on temporarily moving the funds, so I'm not sure which card to apply for.

Thanks for any advice.

Any one because you're only needing it for a maximum of 2 months.

What makes more sense is to apply for a 16 month 0% deal with Virgin Money and switch it there till April 2011

EDIT: There's no such thing as a one-time-deal in life. Opportunities come, go and come back again

Do you have any other cards at the moment other than Barclaycard?

@CannyJock: Thanks for the advice, I already have the Virgin 0% deal, and while there are other 0% deals out there I quite like the idea of taking advantage of the current Barclaycard one first and coming back to those later.

@M Thomson: Other than the Virgin one, no.

I was hoping to find a card that didn't have any special promotions other than the fact it had a low-ish interest rate. Any ideas?
