    I have no idea what you are talking about.
    We need the earth for food, water, and shelter.
    The earth needs us for nothing.
    The earth does not belong to us.

    Are we talking USD or GBP? Is this on every transaction or just the odd one? Whereabouts are you based?

    Hi,
    My partner has a Credit Card with Barclays which is now out of the interest free date. I was advised by Barclays I could take out a card with them (Barclays Platinum) and transfer her balance (approx £1,300) to mine interest free for 14 months. I recieved it yesterday and have now been told I cannot do this as they will not transfer from one Barclays Card to another. I have obviously cancelled my card now with them.
    Can anyone help me? I want to take out a card (doesnt really matter who with) so I can transfer my partners balance to mine, benefitting from the zero balance. I tried Santander (who my motgage is with) and they advised they cannot transfer another persons credit to my card.
    Does anyone know who may be able to help?
    Thanks

    Why do you keep asking where people are?

    This is a UK site, so they're from the UK.

    You should try and find a US site that has the answer to your question.

    Then posters here are unlikely to be able to help. Despite the '.com' web address, most contributers are from the UK and practically all questions/advice are asked/given about UK finances.

    Sorry! As Biggles suggests I'd try and find a US based site.

    Well there's something different about mj purchases, whatever they are - maybe they count as cash, maybe mj are levying a fee, maybe it's a gambling site. All sorts of possible reasons
