Balance Transfer Question

Hi,

Can anyone see there being a problem with the following idea...

Card A is coming to its 0% period end and has a balance left i want to balance transfer to card B (a different company.) This card gets closed after balance transfer is made to card B.

Card B - different company to card A, with a 0% balance transfer period and low handling fee. 0% period ends in 6 months.

Card C - New card opened, same company as card A where the original balance started. This card has a very long balance transfer 0% period and very small handling fee...can I balance transfer card B back to this card C?

Thanks,
Dave

    Of course you can.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Don't see why not. But you might have to make the balance transfer within a certain time to get the 0% rate so be careful on that.

    Yep, depending on the level of debt and the 0% period there could be some even better deals.

    Halifax and Barclaycard both have 0% interest on balance transfers with no transfer fees. I think the Barclaycard one is by invite only to former customers.
