    Once the balance transfer was showing on my account, I paid off the equivalent of the balance transfer fee plus £5 and this therefore eliminated the part of the balance that attracts the highest interest, thus paying it off.

    Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. That is exactly what I have done with my RBS card every time I'd done a BT on it since I first realised about the fee interest, I just wasn't familiar with the 'one hit' term and thought that I may have been missing out on something even better :)

    You'd need to know how long you get interest free on the fee.

    I understand that, but if you are existing customer using a new 0% BT offer (like I did recently) - the answer is zero days.

    The 3 months interest free on purchases (which Natwest usually offer) only applies to brand new applications.
