Capital One Platinum 0% BTF's until Jan 08'

Already had one of these 18 months O% bal transfers which has finished and currently stands at zero balance but with a live £17k limit.
Is it worth ringing them and asking can i take out this offer until Jan 2008 as i have £20k on other cards some of which run out Jan 2007.
I know there is a 2% fee but this will still leave me in pocket.
Any chance of them agreeing to this or am i wasting my time?
Anybody else done the same?
Cheers. Mark.

    I did this and they told me to close the card and I could reapply straight away if I wanted, but they would not give me the offer on my active account.

    Hi there & welcome to the credit card board!

    If you decide to cancel your Capital One card, I would start the process a.s.a.p.
    Last year, it took me two months to get C1 to close down my account!

    Very best
