in Credit cards
Hello I am after some advice please, I currently have a Barclaycard credit card with a 0% interest deal which ends next month, now I know I can transfer my balance to another one of my credit cards but they also have no deals as I am an existing customer, can I for instance close my Halifax Credit card account wait a few days then apply for a new Halifax credit card with a 0% interest deal for new customers?
Thanks in advance! :-)

I've just had an 15 month interest free offer from Halifax with 1% fee as an existing customer.
Give them a call and ask if you have any offers, if they say no ask to close the account that should spark them into life.0 -
Some cards have a limit of 6months from closing your last account before you are treated as a new customer and eligible for new customer benefits. I am not sure if halifax does.
Have you phoned up your existing card providers and specifically asked if they have any balance transfer deals available on your account?A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0 -
