Transfering balance - invalid card number??

I tried to do a part transfer from my capital one card (34% apr) last night to my natwest card (17% apr). But everytime I put in the capitalone card number the natwest site said it was invalid.

Is capitalone owned by Royal Bank of Scotland by any chance?

    I don't believe there is any link between the two companies. You might have to give Natwest a call :)

    That's interesting, because last week I tried to transfer a balance by phone from my Bhs card (issued by Barclaycard, int 23%-odd) TO my Capital One card, which was offering me 15 months' interest-free credit, and the man on the phone said the Bhs card number wouldn't go through!

    It was the last day the offer was available too :(, I'd kept forgetting about it as life got in the way.
  • Def not a link between RBS and Capital One.

    Natwest would not accept an egg money card for a transfer online but would accept an mbna one.

    I know there is no link between Citibank and Natwest.

    Looks like a system glitch to me.
