Balance transfer to someone else

I am wondering generally whether credit card companies will allow a transfer from one person's card to another person's card.

If there are different rules here between card companies can anyone give me an idea, thanks

    Hi

    Yes you can do this fine, in truth I don't think the card companies really care where the transfer money goes.

    Of course (stating the obvious) the new name becomes totally responsible for the other person's debt - in the event of a breakdown in the friendship/relationship the person whose name the debt is in would have no come back on the other person. Providing you are fine with the implications of that the actual transaction should not be an issue.
