Barclaycard 6.9% LOB. This seems to be constantly on offer whenever I have an available limit.
So many offers at the moment, but don't need them.
Hope some offers come up in December when my next 0% ends.0 -
Clear your balance with Barclaycard and call them when you need to do the transfer and ask to close your account, I've known people to get 0% offers when calling to cancel the card.So many offers at the moment, but don't need them.
Hope some offers come up in December when my next 0% ends.Nearly debt free

I did consider something similar.
The fee for clearing the barclaycard would be £150 and I would be paying £300 in interest over the next year, so a saving of £150.
I'm sure that barclaycard would offer me some deal when my next zero deal ends0 -
