balance transfers?

Hi, I have just taken out a credit card with tesco to transfer my capital one balance to. They have offered me £750 and i owe capital one £1000. I also have a next card with £400 on it. Is it worth taking out another card on 0% to transfer the remaining and if it is will they transfer store card debt?
Many thanks :D

    Do you mean they offered you £750 as a limit ??
    If so you may find it difficult to get a number of 0% balance transfer cards open due to just taking out this credit card your credit score would have taken a it of a hit

    To transfer to Next you would ideally need a 0% purchases card and then just pay off Next with the card. With regards to whether or not you'd be able to get another card depends on a number of factors:
    Income
    Payment history
    Number of credit accounts held.
