Barclaycard 0% BT offers for existing customers?

Hi all

I have a Barclaycard I have just cleared, they are curently offering 12 months 0% with I think a 2.99% fee for BT this month.

Does anyone know if this is likely to go high at the start of September? I think it was nine months in July.

The reason I ask is another card I have came up with a fantastic 30 month BT out of the blue at jus the right time, Previously it has been nine and then twelve too.

I need to do a BT quite soon so either need to apply for another card or fingers crossed use the Barclaycard.

Many thanks in advance

    If you are looking for longer why not try another card as there are plenty with much longer BT periods than 12 months.

    If not successful use the barclaycard one as I have had a BC for about 12 or so months now and they have always had some sort of deal on BT when you go to the online account page.
  • Cheers, yeah I was hoping to stay with them so didnt have to apply for another card, as applied and accepted on about a month ago so didnt want to many close together.

    Its just with this card war going on i didnt know if anyone would have a heads up on Barclaycard speciffically.

    So have you ever noticed it higher than 12 months with them when you looked?

    As far as i can remember the highest it has been, on my account anyway, is 12 months, and flits between 6, 9 and 12 months for both BT and cash advances.

    At the minute it is 0% until April 2015, 2.9% fee
  • Interesting, mine says August 2015 and 2.9% fee, maybe different times started and yes the same seems to flit between those too for me!

    Maybe hoping for 30 months with them too is a bit much!

    My latest bt offer from BC is 16 months until January 2016. 3.9%
    Cash to bank is 9 months. 1.9%
  • Thanks Mable, interesting they go to that for existing but that that's a really high fee!


    I am guessing most cards take about two weeks after being accepted? I am going to apply with Bank of Scotland to BT my Natwest one onto I think, 28 months and 1.5% fee!
