Balance Transfer from MBNA?

Oldfaithful_2

Hi, does anybody know which, if any, credit cards offer a balance transfer from MBNA as recently got a transfer card from Santander only to be told at the final hurdle that they only transfer from UK cards?

Thanks : )

To clarify, are you saying that you have a non-UK-issued MBNA card?

I applied for, and received my MBNA card in the UK. I subsequently applied for and received a Santander credit card for a balance transfer. I was on the phone to transfer the balance with Santander who when I gave the MBNA card details said they couldn't transfer from MBNA?

I had a similar problem recently with exactly the same phone requested transfer from an MBNA card.

CSA suggested I try online instead...and it worked!

Hi, does anyone know where i would look for a credit card with 0 percent interest and one which does a money transfer, ( cash ) into your bank account. I am a first time credit card applier.

Thanks for that. In that case perhaps I was a little hasty in closing the account !

I'll say!


Just out of interest, which specific MBNA card is it?

Just a basic cash back card. It would be handy to source a definitive list somewhere of any balance transfer cards that will accept it

I thought you were going to say Virgin Atlantic, because I had a theory that the Amex card on the same account (15-digit card number) was somehow interfering with the Visa card I was BTing from.


As to where you go now, then in my experience any card provider not in the MBNA stable (check the respective credit agreements/T&Cs before applying) would accept the BT.
