Balance transfer Q

Hi just a quick question...

If I transfer a balance from Card A to card B, am I correct in thinking that I won't have to make a payment to card A this month (assuming the BT covered the min payment)?

Does that make sense?

:confused:

    Yes, as long as the transfer hits Card A on time. Balance transfer usually show as payments on Card A but can take up to 10 working days.

    Just make sure the payment shows or you will get hit by a fine!

    All credit card companies will warn you that you should continue making payments to CARD A til you have confirmation the BT has been processed to CARD B. It's sensible advice from them as you could get stung !!

    Just be careful to check if they say working days or not, weekends and bank holidays can change a whole lot of things!
