Barclaycard balance transfer

Hi All. New to this site! Does anyone know if there are any cards out there that will let me transfer a balance of around 4500 from my Barclaycard either interest free or low life of balance as Barclaycard are ripping me off with their interest. Should I contact them first to see if they can do anything for me. Nearly all quotes are based on 1200 transfer and that is no good to me and I work part time too!

    Hi minimarble.

    Welcome :) I'm pretty new here too but everybody is great and very helpful.

    Not sure if it helps or not but i've just moved a cc balance from a Capital One card to Barclaycard, and have got 0% for 22 months. Would it be worth contacting them and seeing if you can do that too? It's probably only for new customers but worth a try?

    When I researched the majority wanted a minimum income of £20k (I *just* fell into that bracket) but i'm sure there would be other companies who offer balance transfers to lower earners, perhaps with a shorter 0% period and/or a higher interest rate at the end of the period? Just speculating here so don't take anything as gospel...

    Good luck anyway :)
