spending on balance transfer card (with new interest rules)

we have a balance on a barclaycard which is 6.9% for the life of the balance.

now that the new rules are coming in, does that mean i can spend some more on the card, pay off the new higher interest rated stuff first, and keep the old balance at 6.9% for life?

can anyone see a problem with this?

we dont have and cannot get any other credit cards so that isnt a solution we can use

the only available credit we have this side of 20% apr is whats left on the barclaycard.

thanks in advance
