Accepted interest free transfer offer from Post Office only to find they charge interest on the transfer fee! How's that for cheek! I am not happy.

So a 2 or 3% transfer fee became normal. They get something at least. But if you can find a savings account with a higher interest rate you can earn money from it.
However, surely the first payment would clear the fee, so it'll only be one month of interest on a relatively small amount, not the end of the world.
Had it been a new card (ie with 0% on purchases for 3 months), rather than an existing customer offer, the OP wouldn't even have posted because he'd never have known.
