Balance Transfer?

Hey All,
I currently have a credit card and an old overdraft which i'm trying to pay off at the moment.
I've just changed banks to Santander, and wanted to transfer both onto one new credit card with Santander so that I can manage it easier.

My question is:
If I want to pay the overdraft off with the credit card, does it get classed as a balance transfer, or is it a cash withdraw?

    Neither you need a credit card that offers a super balance transfer in other words money gets put into your account for you to allocate payments. Different from a balance transfer as this is credit card to credit card. Beware do not withdraw money yourself as you get charged interest and a withdrawal fee if you do this.
