Stooze to bank account

Hello.

Been offered from Barclaycard Bank transfers - fee 1.9% until next year.

So transfer what I have on my BC which is around 1500 to Nationwide where I get 5% per month.

Good idea? Does this has any affect on your credit score?

Thank you :-)
If I've help in anyway, please remember to thank me :-)

    I did not think Barclaycard did SBTs ?

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Calculate your profit here...

    Some comments:


    1. You don't have a "credit score". Your credit rating will be affected by the debt created, but the impact will depend on lots of things.


    2. When using the calculator above, it will not take into account the fact that you may be able to put your own money into the FlexDirect account...so the profit will be overstated.


    3. You have less than 12 months remaining on your introductory rate with Nationwide.


    And finally, I'm not sure why Nationwide are paying you "5% per month"...everyone else gets 5% per year! ;)
