    Just be careful your main card isn't also paid in full after the BT or you'll end up in credit and short of funds

    Just logged in to my Nationwide credit card account and raised the limit to £5300 from £2800. I'll check how much left to pay on my holiday for next year and perhaps pay that on the card. Might put the card balance to over twice the balance transfer amount and avoid the possibility of going into credit.

    Nationwide Card shows as paid off yesterday and Tesco Card shows the transferred balance dated yesterday.
    12/13 (8/9 working) days to apply and complete balance transfer.

    Also confirmed that no payment has been or will be requested for Nationwide card.

    £1600 that can stay in savings for 24(ish) months.
