Advice needed on Balance Transfer
Synonymous
Posts: 330 Forumite
Hello,
I've just transferred the balance of my Halifax CC to MBNA and there is just over £2k of space left on the MBNA card, which is 0% for 14 months, and I can make further balance transfers to it in the first 60 days...
My Platinum Barclaycard is 0% on purchases until Oct with a £5k limit and is about two thirds full, and still being used (I slow stooze and put everything on CC).
So do you think its worth putting £2k from Barclaycard over onto the MBNA to fill the card? I would then keep using the Barclaycard until it was full for purchases. The barclaycard would be full in about 3 months if I did nothing. Or should I just wait and move it all in Oct? What are the pros and cons?
I have a good credit history in that I have never missed a payment, and have been stoozing for about two years.

Do you have an egg money card? I'm guessing not, else you'd want to use this for the 2K.
Otherwise, transferring from Bcard sounds a reasonable move. I guess you think so too. There's just the fee for you to consider and see if its still worth it...Friendly greeting!0
