Capital One 0% Interest For Life

Hi,
A few years ago Capital One had an offer on there platinum card where they gave 0% interest on a balance transfer for life. I got the card during that offer but never used it, Although i know they are no longer doing the offer on new customers, Is my card still Valid for the 0% interest???

    Welcome to MSE.
    I would like to think so,but it has probably expired.
    Phone up customer services and ask them.If it is at 0% put everything on it upto the limit and place the money in a high interest account or an ISA and make money for yourself.
    Good luck.

  • You'll probably find that the offer was valid for something like "any balance transfers done within six months of opening your account."

    Otherwise you could continually do it for ever, which is doubtful.

    Capital one are just pressing us to do a bt on our card at 0% with 6 months to run. We could borrow £3000 and put in high interest. No doubt they would up our limit if we requested. BUT how would we get it into our bank a/c as presumably its only for outstanding debts? Only have egg money. Any ideas?
