in Credit cards
I have a Barclaycard (migrated from Egg) and have recently had notification of a limit increase which will take effect on 4th August.
Does anyone know if I'm likely to be offered a balance transfer deal at the same time? I phoned and asked but all they could tell me was that they are offered from time to time.
I had quite a large debt with them (at 29.9%!) and was just making minimum payments, but over the last 3 months I have reduced that debt by 75% and by the time my increase takes place will have £8k available credit. I have a balance outstanding on another card at 18.9% and am hoping to get it transferred to a lower interest rate.

All the offers from Barclaycard are in your online account to the right of the page.
I get offers every month, they vary from 12 or 18 months 0% balance transfer with usual 1.9 or 2.9% fees, and/or money transfers added as well for 6/9/12 months for anything ranging from 1.9 - 3% fee. So check your online offers.I'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards. I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly, and I can move and merge threads there.

Thanks, I don't have any current offers.0
