Which money transfer credit card?

in Credit cards
I am looking to borrow 6k and am realising the best approach is to utilise 0% money transfer credit cards. However, despite having a 100% chance of being accepted for these types of credit cards (e.g. virgin money), there is no indication what my credit limit will be. The MSE credit club provides me with a very weak affordability score due to the combination of having no credit cards and low disposable income (due to my various loans). despite an excellent credit score. Am I likely to get a 6k credit limit from a money transfer card and if so, which one? If not, what strategy would you recommend?

Very much depends on your income and other available debts and credit, and not at all on your credit score.
Anecdotally, MBNA tend to give high limits.0 -
would you therefore recommend applying for MBNA and seeing what limit I get and then applying for another card if need be?0

Sounds like a plan.0
