Switching to another 0% credit card

Hi

Me and my partner both have 0% interest credit cards. The offer of 0% is due to end in march next year. My question is that as there are changes in interest rate probable and a shift to more responsible lending should we be looking to shift the balance to new 0% cards now or wait until the new year?
I don't want to wait and miss out on the best deals if things are likely to change soon.

Many thanks

    You should look to get another BT offer, if you need one, a couple of months prior.

    There's no overall change in card APRs or lending criteria.
  • Thank you. What u worry about is the length of the 0% balance transfer as from what I have read from Martin's emails is that the best deals are ending because of the shift to more responsible lending and I don't know if the same sort of lengths will be offered in the new year.
