    The payment hierarchy rules DO NOT APPLY TO 0% balances

    ....... you need to wait until 1 day AFTER the offer ends before paying it off. Otherwise it will be used to pay off the balance that still has months left to run at 0%. .......

    my post did mention "..Once it expires then repay that amount and the repayment will go to repay your outstanding with the highest interest rate..."

    I guess you missed that point. or maybe I should have been a bit more clear.:A

    Just to clarify, Barclaycard do actually apply payments to the promotion finishing earliest where more than one promotion at the same interest rate is running.

  • 6 months 0% approx 3%fee from egg and rbs

    No joy from Egg for me (bar standard rate no fee transfer which I just actioned from my RBS balance 17.9% vs 18.9% so no massive saving there!) - but who knows, give it a couple of days and I might be able to get a 0% RBS deal by the sounds of it...

    I received a letter about a month ago stating that they would be increasing my limit by £1200 on August 4th and was going to call them to see if they would offer me 6.9%....as I've already got all of my current balance on that rate.

    I didn't need to call them!

    I went online and saw the increase to the limit and also a 6.9% LOB offer.....

    No complaints with Barclays :T

    The offers keep coming.

    I recently cleared the balance before a 0% for 9 months finished and have been given 0% for 12 months (2.98% fee).

    It was clear. But not as clear as mine which was in bold;)

  • Cleared last balance transfer with Virgin in April and just checked account to discover 0% to September 2012 2% fee either to other credit card or current account - happy days (especially as this card has my biggest limit).

    Thanks to Stoneman for prompting me to check.
