MBNA credit card help

Hi All,

Need some help with the below credit card I am looking to set up. I'm looking to borrow £3000 and transfer it to my current account to buy a car. Am I correct in thinking that it will be a fixed 4% fee for the transfer?

What will the minimum monthly repayments be on £3000?

Would I be able to pay the loan off early if I wanted to?

MBNA platinum credit card

Is this the best option to go for considering that I will be able to pay this amount off within 24 months?

Is there anything which I am missing? I have asked these questions directly with MBNA but no response yet.

Thanks

    If you pick the wrong Platinum card, yes. However, if you pick the right Platinum card it'll be 1.94%.

    That's answered on their website. See the summary box and/or the FAQ.

    It's not a loan, it's a credit card. The answer is yes.

    Which one? See above re the fees.

    If you pick the right Platinum card, probably yes.
    Is there anything which I am missing?
    Sounds like you probably haven't spent a lot of time on their website reading up on the product, so almost certainly yes.

    A circa £3,200 limit (necessary for a £3K money transfer) might be a big ask for someone who hasn't had a credit card before. Making an assumption here, because if you had you'd know where to find the information on minimum payment calculation, ie in the product summary box.
