Best alternatives to virgin for 0% max. Term cash transfer to bank

I have used Virgin 16 month deal for this purpose so now need the best alternatives to do the same again. I'm surprised I cannot find a heading on the site for this? It's all about balance transfers it seems.

    If you want to transfer the money to your bank account, then your only options are another MBNA card or Egg. As far as I am aware, these are the only two companies that allow this type of transfer.
    No Longer works for MBNA as of August 2010 - redundancy money will be nice though.

    Post Office and M&S (via Sterling travellers cheques) are two others.

    RBSG cards will also do fee-free money transfers, although they're not interest free. Entirely workable, if the balance can be shifted to a 0% BT card elsewhere quickly.

    If the Virgin card is empty now, then you could apply for another MBNA run card. Then, if successful, ask them to switch the Virgin limit over and add it to the new one to increase the new total borrowing facility.

    What YB says, or just phone them and see if they have any new offers for you, if you've been using the card for purchases since your last 0% offer, it seems to encourage new offers to appear - though not as generous as the original offer :)
