Not sure what card I need.

I'm not sure what type of 0% credit card will be best for me.
There is a possibility I maybe made redundant in the next few weeks/months. It's rumours at the moment but i want to make plans in case. I have 4k left on a loan @£517 a month therefore the max time will be 8 months. I can over pay any amount and plan to pay off as much as £1000 a month. I am looking for a credit card that will allow 0% spending on cash transfers if possible. IF I do get redundant then I plan to pay off the loan with it then reduce my monthly outgoings and pay off the card at a rate of approx £200 a month until it is cleared. Does anyone know which card would be best for this?
I hope I've explained it fully so you can all understand.

Money transfer card is what you need:

Sorry, that was a quick typo. At the moment I can afford to over pay up to a total of about £1000 a month.0

Thanks, I've just applied and been approved for a MBNA transfer card that will more than suit my needs if the news is bad in the coming weeks.0

You'd presumably be entitled to some sort of redundancy pay if the worst came to the worst, which could come in handy to settle some/all debt?0
