time limit before i can transfer balance?

Iv jus recently transferred my credit card debt to a new card as my other 0% offer was running out. Im looking at using this new card (that has my old debt on) to make a new purchase as its got a high credit limit, however the 0% purchase is only for 3 months. Would i be able to get a new balance trasfer card and just transfer the balance before the 3 months is up or is there a certain amount of time before i can do this? I was just goin to leave the credit on this card n get a new card to make the purchase, but i thought it might be easier having everything on one card and cutting it up after so all im doing is paying off.

Hope this makes sense to somebody lol

Thanks in advance for any help

  • There's nothing to stop you applying for another card from a different company in 3 months time, though it means (assuming you get accepted) you'll have to pay another balance transfer fee. Would you be able to pay of the purchase amount before the 3 months is up? If so, you might still be okay in terms of still only being charged 0% for the remaining transferred balance (though I can't guarantee this - hopefully someone else will be able to clarify).
