in Credit cards
Hi everyone - excellent site!!!
I have finally decide to act on advice from a Martins Money Tips fan (I'm normally cautious over money matters) and am literally in the process of applying for a Virgin credit Card on line.
One of the questions they ask is do I want to use the Balance Transfer facility - but when I ticked yes - they want me to list who to.
Well I was just going to pay the money they allowed me into my 'off Set' account to accrue interest for the 0% period. What do I tell them - or shall i just put no for now - and if I am successfull in my appication - then ask for a BT.
Thanks for reading - and sorry for asking a daft question?

I did not do it on the application. I am still waiting for my card but a lot of people on this forum have said the SBT with Virgin is free during the first 9 months. I hope so! I should find out in the next few days.0

Just done my SBT to my current account on the phone. No charge so you do not need to put it on the application form. They also offered me a 100% credit limit transfer!0
