No more Virgin SBTs?

Walshy

Hi everyone this is my first post.

Just tried to apply for a Virgin card online to do a SBT as I wanted to transfer money to my current account, but it only seems to give you the option of transferring balances from other cards.

Is this correct or am I being thick?!

once you have your virgin card , call them up and ask if you can make a balance transfer to your current account

They do allow this as I asked a couple of days ago just to make sure you could do it

Hi, I was thinking of applying for a Virgin card. However I am a bit unsure about the fees. Can you confirm if you have to pay a fee for a SBT to current account ?

Thanks and regards

Hi Martin,

From your Balance transfer and super balance transfer articles.
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"There is one small note of caution. None of the above cards charge for super balance transfers during promotional offers, including 0% introductory offers, (in the case of MBNA provided this is done on application). "[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I read this but Mint seem to want "all we ask is a 2% handling fee for all balance transfers made during the first 3 months from account opening. (Minimum £5, maximum £40)"[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I want to do a SBT to my current account. I already have an MBNA card at 0% but near end. I closed my Egg card 2 years ago but they will not let me have another card, saying that I am an existing customer, umm.[/font]

[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So I am now totally confused how to get my overdarft onto a credit card at 0%. I want a fee free way of doing a SBT, and cannot use Egg or MBNA.

Kells

I can confirm no charge for a SBT with Virgin. Just done one last night on the telephone.
