Working the 0% shuffle

jonathanmiles

I am in the process of swapping my crredit card debt to 0% deals. Have got one card from Lloyds TSB that I have put half my debt on.

Now need to swap the rest, about £5k, and the Barclaycard deal is the best. I had a Barclaycard which I paid off and closed last week. How long do I need to leave it before I can apply as a new customer to get the best 0% deal?

Thanks
