Halifax Balance Transfer question.

Andyt1981

Hello,


Does anyone know if you can transfer a balance in someone else's name to a halifax credit card?

Also, has anyone got a good deal as an existing customer?


Thanks

Yes, you can, generally speaking. Though obviously not from another Halifax card.

Halifax send out regular existing customer BT offers.

I am an existing Halifax customer and am presently on my second or third extended "0% for purchases with no fee" offer.

This one started in December and lasts to February 2014. Which is very generous, I think.

BT offers are even more frequent.

I've never been sent any offers through, although I did get a 0% bt deal by phoning up about a year ago.

If you do it over the phone they will ask if the card you wish to balance transfer from is in your name.

I might be a priority for them, because I never use the card except for these offers.

So does this mean they won't allow a balance in someone else's name over the phone?

No fee? I wouldn't expect to pay a fee to buy a 0% on purchases offer! Indeed, I've never seen such an offer.

This one started in December and lasts to February 2014.

So as an existing customer they've given you 15 months 0% on purchases for a card you already held?

I BT'd balances from other cards I own in a different name (maiden name). Before I did this I asked the guy on the phone if the differing names would be a problem, and he said that they don't ask for/need the names, just the card numbers.

This wasn't a Halifax card, though.
