No balance transfer offers at Barclaycard means no balance transfers at all?

As if my magic there's a 6.9% for life offer appeared on one of the accounts this morning.0

We have three Barclaycards (one each and an Egg transfer for me) and having had non stop offers for a long time these have indeed dried up (even though one account saw a 40% increase in credit limit a month or so back).
I suspect that this is due to the fact that they haven't made a penny out of me/us from previous transfers and we don't spend on the cards at all.
The system got bored of us it seems!:rotfl:
Cell, seems the exact same circumstances as me. Wife and I have three Barclaycards, one is an old Egg account. In January we got a 40% limit increase and a few balance transfer offers. Then they all seem to have dried up. Although I took advantage of a 0% in January.
To the OP - It seems unless Barclaycard have a specific offer, you can't get a balance transfer at all!0 -

If they have dried up completely its probably something to do with the credit feed they receive from Equifax each month.0 -
That would be the came credit feed which added £4000 to the OH's credit limit six weeks ago?
It just seems to be random.
And as I said, out of the blue a lifetime offer appeared on her account this morning.
But no, it is certainly the case that BTs can only be done if there's an offer, not as a matter of course, even at your standard APR.0 -
Still no offers on my account. Unlikely to be linked to credit report as suggested as I get offers on my other cards and no problems with new credit. Will wait a couple of months and then threaten to move on0
