    Depends on how long it will take you to pay off. More than a couple of months, then yes.

    And assuming Vanquis allow the BT - they have problems in this regard.

    They allowed my last one of around £600.

    And wouldn't it be fine if I paid like January, because the BT costs £8, whereas leaving it on Vanquis then I would be hit with around £14 interest

    You'll be charged around £5 interest on the Asda card though, in addition to the fee, so you don't save much in a single month.
