    You should have accepted the 18mths, since you already had the search against you. The 29.9% was your go to rate, not the BT rate. It's now going to be a little more difficult to be accepted.

    If you make another application and are accepted, do NOT reject that one.
  • Its just that i added more cards to my application and i didnt know how much credit limit barclaycard was give me and i wanted least 4000
    balance transfer. Would you suggest i wait a year before applying again even tho i paying 50pounds a mth interest on the halifax
