in Credit cards
So linked to my other thread from a few days ago, I would like to make a payment on a debit card which is then transferred to my long life 0% credit card
I have a Halifax Clarity card with a limit of £6,000 and reading here I understand I can money transfer half of this for no fee.
So my plan would be:
Is this correct?
And I have just been on my account online and while I see BT option I don't see the MT option, like I did on say Virgin for instance.
Thanks for any comments.
I have a Halifax Clarity card with a limit of £6,000 and reading here I understand I can money transfer half of this for no fee.
So my plan would be:
- MT the £3,000 (or whatever figure is) to my bank account
- Buy the item using my bank debit card
- Balance transfer from my 0% card onto the Halifax card to shift it onto no interest
Is this correct?
And I have just been on my account online and while I see BT option I don't see the MT option, like I did on say Virgin for instance.
Thanks for any comments.

Don't think any Clarity cards have a money transfer option. If they do, they're very rare.
Nothing to stop you withdrawing the cash over the counter, but you'll pay interest on it like any other withdrawal.0 -

The Halifax Clarity is a specialist travel card so it won't have any money transfer options.
Halifax only offer 0% money transfer deals to the majority of their existing credit card holders intermittently - it could be every month, or every 6 months depending on how you run your account, however, Clarity is the exception and not one of those cards they offer it on.
What you need is a separate money transfer card. Or even perhaps, a 0% purchases card.I'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards.

Thanks everybody.
I must be getting confused with another card I've read about on these boards.The above facts belong to everybody; the opinions belong to me; the distinction is yours to draw...0
