spending on a purchace card after clearing it with a balance transfer card

I've got a tesco 18 month 0% on purchaces card with £1500 limit and around 12 months left on the deal, A lloyds card with no deal and £1500 limit, both cards are near their limits, I've also got an overdraft of around £2000

I've just been accepted for a barclay platinum 0% balance transfer card with a £6500 limit.

I intend on transfering the lloyds card balance to the barclays one and closing the card

my question is, if i transfer the balance of the tesco card to the barclays, can i then use the tesco card for 0% purchaces for the remainder of the promo period, so that my wages can pay the same amount off from my overdraft?

or will the tesco 0% purchace deal end when i transfer its balance to the new barclay card, or is this just a big no no, and will screw up my credit rating?

    You can continue to use it at 0%.

    As above, you won't lose the 0% on the Tesco purchases card by balance transferring from it. But... You may run the risk of Tesco lowering your credit limit on it following the transfer of the balance.
