Santander 0% BT no fee

Hi,

i saw in the weekly email about Santander offering 0% BT with no fee - I think it's for existing customers (includes Abbey and A&L customers).

Does anyone know if they are offering this if you already have the Santander credit card? or is it for existing customers that don't have this card?

    Existing current a/c and mortgage customers, pretty sure their T&C's say you can't already have a Santander Zero/Abbey Zero card, not sure about any other card from them.

  • it is available to existing mortgage or banking customers who have a santander credit card providing its not the ZERO credit card that they already hold. HTH

    thanks for the replies but actually after phoning Santander it does work.

    So, my situation is that I have an Abbey mortgage and an A&L current account so fulfill the requirements for being an existing customer.
    I do already have the Santander Zero credit card (which I recently got for using abroad). I have now successfully managed to BT onto the existing Zero card and they have assured me it's o% interest and NO FEE although it's only for 12 months from the original date I got the card (which was about Nov). So I won't get a whole year's worth.

    I've done the BT from my Egg money mule and will transfer that +ve bal to a high interest savings acount for the remaining 12 months - thanks Santander - should net me about £250 in interest

    I am a Cahoot customer (Abbey National). Will I be able to apply for one?

    I would think so. If Cahoot is part of Abbey, now that Abbey is Santander

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    I applied a week ago - anybody got their's yet?
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D
  • Not heard a peep from Santander....although I expect they are probably snowed under with applications given they are the only fee-free option (and there are probably quite a few Halifax/B&B/A&L customers who qualify!)

    Cheers

    Just been to the Santander site. The zero card attracts a 3% fee for balance transfers. Can't see anything that is 0% BT and 0% fee.
