in Credit cards
Hi,
Am currently thinking of transferring one balance on to another card that is offering 0%.
The card I'm transferring from shows the balance plus recent purchases.
My question is....Am I better waiting until the recent purchases have cleared and then transfer or transfer the balance based on 'balance + recent purchases'??
Many thanks

Are the recent purchases a large amount that you would want to transfer?
If not just transfer the balance.
In any case most cards will allow a date window to transfer balances to qualify for the 0%.
So you can tranx your balance now and probably the outstanding purchases after. The balance tranx fee is normally a % not a flat fee so it should not cost you any more.0
