    Nationwide is 12 months. If you look at their application terms for their new BT offer of 0% for 20 months and only 1.55% it states this clearly

    So much for being a good customer for years!!(

    A good customer is one which makes a good profit.

    There isn't much profit for a card company in a 0% BT deal.

    Barclaycard Platinum; old card rarely used (only for BT offers)

    Just offered me 0% BT for 9mths with 2.9% fee

    They seem to offer me this every month. Hardly anything on the card (lifetime fix at 4.9%) with a big credit limit so they seem to want me to increase my balance.
  • Bank of Scotland 15 months 0% for a 3% fee,which then gets half refunded a month later.done deal!

    For 2 months on the trot, Barclaycard have offered me 15 months at 0% on balance transfers (2.9% fee). As my RBS card has just started charging interest, I've taken them up on their kind offer!

    Hi

    Did you have a zero balance before that? That's a good deal!

    I was thinking the same and was about to ask the same question. BC only offered me 10 months but I have a balance (on 0% until July).
