Do a balance transfer.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

Be aware though that a balance transfer does not count as your monthly payment, so don't get caught with late fees.0

A payment is a payment.
I've used balance transfers to clear credit card balances to zero many times, and even if there's been no other payment in the month, I've never been charged a late fee or been given a late payment marker.We need the earth for food, water, and shelter.

Indeed, the recipient bank don't know (or care, I expect) where the money has come from, just that it's been paid in - hence why it shows as a payment, rather than a refund (which wouldn't count towards your monthly payment unless it resulted in a zero, or positive, balance (as in you no longer owed the CC company anything).0 -
