Balance transfers from same car twice ?

Hi there.
Recently applied for a Halifax 0% balance transfer credit card. I have transferred my Lloyd's credit card balance to it already. I plan on now paying a loan off with my Lloyd's credit card, and transferring it to the Halifax, therefore having 0% interest on all my debt with it all in one place. The question is can I transfer from my Lloyd's credit card for a second time ? I don't want to pay my loan off and then be stuck with it on the Lloyd's one and not be able to transfer it. I'm still in my 0% transfer period ( only got the card 5 days ago), just didn't know wether I could use the same card to transfer it ?
Many thanks in advance,
Connor

Yes.
But how are you planning to pay the loan with your card? Do you have a money transfer option?0 -
I'm not sure, I was planning on going into the bank and asking them. Is it not possible to pay off a loan with just a normal credit card ?0

No. The only way is to withdraw cash from a CC. Then you can transfer the balance to the 0% card, but this will cost you ~3% on the top of the the BT fee.0

You would need a money transfer card where you could transfer money from the card direct to your bank account, rather than just a balance transfer card. Money transfers usually incur a fee around 3%. There may also be early repayment penalties on your loan.
You have shifted your CC debt to 0%. Possibly safest to leave the loan where it is and just pay it off as fast as you can0 -
It will have to be by money transfer or cash withdrawal. There will normally be a 3% fee either way. Remember also that your cash limit will most likely be 50% of your total credit limit on the Lloyds card (mine is). Do you have a money transfer offer on your Lloyds credit card at the moment?
Equally, if you have a money transfer offer on the new card then you could do it directly and avoid a second fee.
In answer to your specific question, yes you can do a BT to the same card more than once.0
