    I would have thought that this wouldn't take any longer than three or four days, although from past experience I know that credit card companies like to be slow. Whereas a cheque 'clears' in three days, balance transfers seem to take longer.

    Personally I would ring Barclaycard, or if you service your account online, if you can, send them a message through that to save yourself the cost of the call.

    In my experience:

    fastest: 4 days (Egg)
    slowest: 6 weeks (Barclaycard)
