0% balance & money transfer Virgin cards

Options
Any experience of credit limits for Virgin 0% balance & money transfer cards. There are quite a few on offer currently from 38 months & below & differing balance & money transfer fees.

I have to pay off a balance of about 10K on my current credit card (0% deal coming to an end in next 7 weeks) & ideally want to borrow another 10K for some home improvements so am looking for a limit of about 18-20K & 0% rate for both balance transfers & money transfers.

    Unless you earn £50K+ p.a. you, possibly, need to be a little more pessimistic.

    Got £2k for 24 months 0% purchase on Virgin.
    Got £11k @ 1.3% BT fee for 32 months on Barclaycard.

    recently.
  • Virgin generally offer credit limits at the lower end. Most posters tend to say that MBNA tend to be more generous with credit limits, they have been with me offering £10k on first application. They also do an eligibility check that won't affect your credit file to advise you if you might be accepted on full application.
