Balance Transfer question

Managed to get a BOS CC at 0% for 18 months but i'm unsure what to do as the limit on it is significantly lower than my nationwide card.
Do I:
1) BT £1200 to BOS and pay it off super fast then transfer again, or;
2) BT £1200 to BOS and pay minimum payment (1%) and keep firing £150 each month?
I know what I want to do but would appreciate any other views or comments on this.
Thanks in advance

2). (assuming you mean keep paying £150 off the nationwide account)
You usually can only do a 0% BT in the first 60days, so probably will find you can't do another transfer when the first has been paid off.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
I agree with Tixy - go for number 2) as you'll manage to pay more of your Nationwide this way. Don't forget there's a small % BT fee to add to your new card too.

I spoke with BOS last week and asked the girl if I could BT once I had paid this one off and she said I could but that it obviously wouldn't last for 18 months again as the promo period is only for 18months from date of opening the account and that I would be charged the 3% fee each time I did this.
