Balance transfer card for wife

Hi

I've recently got an MBNA 5.9% for Life card.

If my wife was to apply for a Balance Transfer card would it be better for her to avoid MBNA as they've recently lent to this address, and we are financially associated, or is it likely to make no difference?

Many thanks.

    Sounds like a good swap to me. Sorry :)

    :D

    I did a soft search on Nationwide 0% 20 months and was quoted £5000 at 15.9% (which in my experience is a yes). Trouble is the page timed out at the in principle stage and when I re-submitted it just hung.

    So either I confused it or there was a systems glitch. I'll try again tomorrow as it covered what we needed.
