Do Tesco Credit cardholders ever get balance transfer deals?

Hi,

I've had a Tesco card for about 4 years, got it originally for a balance transfer.

When I paid off the outstanding amount at the end of the low interest period, I overpaid slightly, so the card has been sitting in the drawer for several months with a £20 credit balance on it.

Looking to transfer a balance again, so rang them up today to ask if they could offer me a deal, but nothing doing.

Sooo, If I use the card for a while (just spent the £20 to top-up DS's phone), am I likely to get an offer in the future?

If they don't do offers for existing customers, I think I'll just cancel the account.
I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    i dont think so, i had a tesco credit card for years with no offers, use up the twenty quid, close the card and in 8 months re-apply for a 0% tesco card.

    We only ever had one repeat BT offer in years of holding the card.

    We only keep it now for spending on to collect points.
