    The letter says 5.94% life of balance and until 31st December in which to do the transfers - which is rather generous of them. Don't think they currently charge a BT fee either. Min payment is 3% [rather than 2%] of reducing balance.

    I got a bt offer from Capital One. 5.94% plus 2% fee so on a 5k transfer that's £100. Not great I don't think?

    I still can't get MBNA to go lower than 4.9% for 6 months with a £50 balance transfer fee. What am I doing wrong? My balance with them is now clear, it is even in credit by a few pounds as I know there would have been a bit of interest to pay.

    Anyone got any tips on what I can do next?
