Balance Transfer to Halifax

cockmad

Hi, it's been a while since I last posted.

Does anyone know if Halifax One card will accept a Balance Transfer from American Express Everyday Platinum card.

The Halifax have given me a great offer of only 1% fee for up to fifteen months to transfer a balance. Never had such a low percentage offer from them in the past. Usually it's 3%.

Here's hoping. Many thanks in advance.

I have grumbler many times today but it's very confusing and not all straight forward for me as I'm not very IT orientated.

Hi Cockmad

Yes you can balance transfer from American Express cards.

We've also been offered the same 0% deal but I only found out by calling them. We usually get a letter but have not received one yet. Did you get a letter from them? If so, did it contain a generic reference number for the deal?

Thanks.

I've had the letter, as well as that I've had the offer pop up when I logged into online banking as well.

Thanks for your response.

Did you receive the letter recently? I hadn't received the letter as of Saturday and I'm away with work for a few weeks now. The deal I was told about started on 2/1/14 for 0% for 15 months with a 1% fee (but they didn't tell me the expiry date when I called - it's usually a six week period). I'm keen to do this online but if you don't enter the code or you enter a code that's not valid for your account you pay the full transfer and interest (which I think is a little unfair if Halifax has put the offer on a person's account).

It's only until the 31st January, you should be able to do the offer over the phone which doesn't take that long.
