    Quite possibly your own bank, via a branch application, would be the quickest. Who do you bank with?

    An alternative would be to pay on one of your existing cards and then apply for a 0% on BT card with a low fee*.


    * There are 12 month plus cards with as little as 1.6% fees for BTs...a small price to pay for 12 months 0%, and no doubt cheaper than withdrawing your savings (which should be making at least 2.4% net of basic rate tax?).

    Santander don't have a suitable product for you.

    Barclays and RBS both have 13/14 month products.

    You'd need to be eligible for Nationwide's Select card to get a long enough purchases offer.
    Also dont want to do transfer as dont want to pay ANY kind of fees.
    It was a plan B, should your plan A fail. ;)
  • just had a look at rbs, it says apply online so might take ages anyway.

    If i already have a barclays CC could i apply for another one?(keeping both)

    No, not according to the information on their website...
