Money transfer card?

I'm looking for the best deal on a money transfer card i.e. small/no interest, if they still exist?

Bit worried as will also be applying for another in Sept to cover an old 0%er, not sure whether this is the best idea, although I have a good credit rating?

Many thanks for any advice folks :)

    Some accept them FOC (LTSB and Nationwide did for me, but my experience isn't recent).

    Some charge a small fee of 1% (HSBC).

    Some may even refuse to accept them.

    Who do you bank with?
