    Natwest & Virgin 0% for 12 months on money and balance transfers (usual fees of 3-5%)

    Natwest also increasing limit :j

    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.

    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.
    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 ends
