I am looking to apply for the above card for to use for a balance transfer.

Two questions:

- What are typical credit limits?
- How long does it take for the 'other' card to be paid off from date of application?

Thanks

One thing to bear in mind with this card - and it may, or may not concern you - they tend to make you jump through a series hoops to prove your identity, salary and employer. Considered opinion is that they are best avoided.

That's a very reasoned and considered response.

My experience with them has been first class. Had a. Card with them few years ago applied online no problems used the balance offer then when it finished closed account.

Then in November applied again accepted straight away and did a transfer. Never once have been asked to send any documents.

Yes there are people on here had problems but very rare people comment if not had a problem, my view is there ok don't give a great credit limit I got £5k which was enough.

Hope this helps

I recently got one of these (about 3 weeks ago) and have had no problems - all done online, neat little app on my phone makes it easy to make payments and see what's going on. It's been a smooth and easy switch and I kicked myself for not doing it before. Very generous credit limit too (over £5000) which I have no intention of using! :-)
