    The cards from amazon.co.uk and play.com (in the uk) are also issued by mbna, as well as some others. It will always say who the exact legal party is somewhere in the credit agreement.

    When I had a Virgin card it came with BT cheques, allowing a super BT into my bank account, which in turn can pay off ANY card :)

    This would work but the super balance transfer fee is usually more around 4%.
