in Credit cards
Hello everyone,
Never done this before. Applied for Tesco NO FEE balance transfer card and accepted. £6800 balance transfer allowed in 90 days for 21 months.
I have 2 credit cards ATM. Santander 0% purchase coming to end in May. Balance £3300. So can I BT from Santander to Tesco before the 0% end?
The other CC, Nationwide has no offer.
How can I use the rest of Tesco BT CC of £3500 as it has no purchase offer? Can I spend upto £3300 from Nationwide CC and after a month or two when the bill will be generated BT to Tesco CC?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.
My thoughts above. The usual caveats apply - make damned sure to pay at least the minimum every month, miss a payment and you'll revert to their standard APR (DD is the safest way). And have plans in place to pay off the full balance when the 0% deal ends - you may be able to transfer to another 0% card, but you can't guarantee you'll be accepted.0
