What card to balance transfer American Express balance?

tonyshort

I have an American Express credit card and want to complete a balance transfer. I've tried using Barclays but it doesn't accept balances from American Express. Any ideas what cards will allow you to complete this?

Thanks

It's a bit problematic, a lot of companies demand a 16-digit card number to complete a balance transfer when most Amex cards only have 13-15 digits. I'm sure that BarclayCard want your money, it's those pesky IT systems which stop them from taking it

Capital One definitely accept transfers from Amex cards, and I think RBS/Natwest and Nationwide do as well. Also MBNA group cards will allow you to do a "super BT" to your bank account, you could then use the money to pay off the Amex card if that's an option?
