Barclaycard Initial 0% balance transfer

Just had an offer from Barclaycard to balance transfer at 0% until March 2016.

Nice offer :)

    Reminds me of those McDonald's adverts where someone is late and they turn round and say 'just got a Big Mac for £1.99'

    I managed to get £2,500 transferred to my bank account for 9 months at 0 percent with a £15 fee.

    It was a special offer for me only they said.

    It's nice but bear in mind that's about 16 months, and the current best 0% on balance transfers is 35 months.

    Unless the offer is 0% fee (and also 0% interest) in which case that's a stonkingly good deal, though that's unlikely.

    All that glitters is not gold.
