You'd ask the new/balance transfer card to transfer from the card you have a balance on/owed money too. You tell them the card number of the card you want to pay.
In effect, your new card makes a payment for you to clear the balance.
You might call them to do this or do it online.0 -

I've come back to this thread as I've closed my Barclaycard and will shortly need to apply for another BT card.
Just want to check my understanding of this. If I get, for example, a Halifax BT card and want to transfer £3000 from my TSB card, I instead request a £6000 balance transfer putting the TSB card £3000 in credit and hopefully get that +ve balance transferred to my current account.
I imagine I should be careful to time this to avoid debits from the account reducing the +ve balance resulting in a request for a transfer in excess of the +ve balance figure.0
