Paying for holiday on fluid card then transfer the balance to tesco card, can this be

Hi All,
So we've just booked our very first holiday abroad. We are likely to be able to pay most of the balance off before the due date is up, however I had a thought. We currently have a mbna fluid card and a tesco card. The mbna has a 0 balance and the tesco just £240 from the deposit which will be paid off at end of the month. The tesco card is offering 0% on balance transfers till July 17 if I was to pay the holiday off on the fluid card could I then transfer straight to tesco so that I could use this offer? I thought if it's possible it would just be nice to spend the costcost over a longer time.

Thanks in advance.

    Why not?

    However, it costs to transfer a balance and usually travel companies charge extra for CC payments.
  • Thanks for the reply. Fortunately the company we've gone with don't charge for credit card payments. However having read that it possible to apply for another card through tesco I'm thinking it might be worth applying for a second card with the 0% on purchases for 20 months. Oh decisions decisions.
