MBNA platinum card

I have an MBNA credit card.
I have no purchases on it.
I have a couple of balance transfers from other credit cards on it.
One balance transfer with the promotional rate of 0.2425 % interest ends in April this year.
Another more recent balance transfer of 0 % ends in Oct 2010.

I pay about £200 a month to pay it off.

Does this pay off the lower or higher interest first.

If it pays off the 0% interest first I'll have to get in quick before April and pay off the whole amount otherwise I'll be paying the regular interest rate from April. :o


Thanks for any advice.

    Current T&C's for their Virgin card say:

    Allocation of payments

    If you do not pay your balance in full we will use your payments:
    • to reduce lower rate balances before higher rate balances.
    If introductory rate balances are the same we will repay them as follows:
    • the one which expires first; then
    • if expiry dates are the same - the one which started first; then
    • if the expiry dates, and start dates are the same - the one with the lowest standard rate.

    Take a look at the back of your statment or phone their CS people if in doubt.
