Hi,

Has anyone had any luck negotiating a BT offer from Virgin as an existing cardholder?

Or does anyone know when their offers come out?

    Their offers are available......

    My DH managed to get one a few days ago. I found the eligibility checker useful to use before applying.

    Sorry, should have made it clear I meant as an existing cardholder. I've edited the OP to clarify.

    i have in the past SF, but that has been when Virgin cards were backed by MBNA. if this is standalone Virgin then we are in relatively new territory. i'll be interested to learn how they respond, and whether they are a serious stooze partner:cool:

    I successfully applied for a virgin 36 month BT card last summer, and have had 3 offers since, each one around the 20 to 24 months with middling fees. So yes, they do give existing customers BT offers.

    I get regular offers for BT and Money Transfers from Virgin currently have one of 0% until Oct 2017 but I have never actually asked for BT they just offer them.

    so they're offering deals on an account which already has a BT in place, Alexd:think:

    I have just had a look at my deleted emails from virgin and the last promotional offer I got was 6/1/2016, valid until 31/1/2016. Also looking at previous emails they seem to send them to me every 2 months, and at the latest 10th of the month.
    This is the last one i received, and I still have a balance on my CC at 0% until January 2017.

    Transfer a new balance from another card

    Option 1 0% interest until September 2017 statement
    3.5% (min £3) handling fee applies Option 2 0% interest until December 2016 statement
    1.49% (min £3) handling fee applies

    Transfer money into your bank account

    Option 1 0% interest until September 2017 statement
    4% (min £3) handling fee applies Option 2 0% interest until December 2016 statement
    1.99% (min £3) handling fee applies

    Likewise, mine seem to be at roughly 2 monthly intervals
