    Yes. Bear in mind that:

    1) They might take extra security precautions - eg phoning you back to confirm.

    2) Legal liability for the debt moves with the balance.

    Usually but not always. For example, Santander specifically states that only balances in the name of the main cardholder can be transferred.

    So check the offer terms carefully.
