Virgin mastercard as mule?

mpazza

Hi, Can you use a Virgin mastercard as a "mule" I've got a new 12 months offer from LLoydsTSB but have a 0% balance on it for half my credit limit which is due to expire next week. If I use the 0% offer to transfer to my Virgin mastercard to give me a positive balance and then transfer into my current account so I can pay off Lloyds, will Virgin allow this and if so will they charge for it?
I miss my egg card!!

Thanks

I would think this would work.

Nope, it's against the T&Cs of the card. It may work, but they may also block your card pending money laundering checks or similar.

Better option would be to transfer the money from Virgin to current account first (as that card permits money transfers), thereby creating a debt, then BTing the "debt" to the LTSB card.
