Which card for BT

Hi I recently did a balance transfer from my RBS card to Leeds building society cc on the deal that was posted here something like 6.7% for the life, I wanted to also transfer my capital one as its horrendously high but only had a 2k limit on the leeds transfer, could someone please let me know what would be the current best deal around,
I have a balance of about £350 and normally pay about £30 a month and so if I went for 0% I guess I could clear it in a year, Thanks am new to BT-ing and only ever done the leeds one, so any help would be fantastic.

    Current 0% BT offers here http://www.stoozing.com/0fees.php

    Current LOB offers here http://www.stoozing.com/lob.php

    Whichever card you go for, be sure to maximise the offer even if it doesn't clear the other card in full - every bit moved across will save you money.

    EDIT: If your RBS card is now clear, it won't do any harm to call them and ask if they have any 0% offers for existing customers as you have a balance on your Cap One card you'd like to clear. Once you've done a BT, be sure not to use the BT card for any purchases until the balance is cleared.

    Profit is only if you're using the card for stoozing. Assumes a 10K limit and a high interest savings account, just ignore it. :)
