    TAKE YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF

    Have you asked them what certain conditions you lose?

    I've never used the cheques, always request the funds transfer during the activation call - that way you get them to confirm the balance transfer fee and that transfer will be part of the 0% promotion.

    They may be interest free, but they're unlikely to be fee-free, and any such fee is also unlikely to be at 0%.
    is it better to pay the cheque in to my bank or use my card to do a money transfer. it says by using the cheques you lose certain conditions. cheers
    One of the things you lose using the cheques is CCA Section 75 protection, but if you're simply putting the cheques into your own current account, the point is moot.
