Credit card v loan

in Credit cards
I am a credit card 'tart' I have 3 credit cards but am finding the monthly payments high - they are all 0% and end in June. Should I switch to a longer-term card such as Texaco at 3.9% and stop being a 'tart' or maybe swith to a personal loan say at 5.9% over 7 years - the latter reduces my monthly payments significantly but of course costs me a few thousand in interestl Swithching to a long-term relationship might reduce the need to change every 6 months but will I end up with the same problem of higher payments and anyway would I get the same amount of credit from one card provider - I also want to transfer an overdraft into this so the total is significant
Any thoughts?

Virgin MBNA card might fit the bill.
Its 9 months 0%, SBT into you bank account and only £5 a month minimum payment whilst on the 0% deal...give you some time to get that debt down (obviously saved into a savings account rather than thrown at the card).0
