Balance transfer to multiple cards?

in Credit cards
Hello!
Quick question - I have a credit card with a balance of 3.5k which 0% runs out shortly, having recently applied for a full balance transfer the lender declined the full amount.
Not knowing why, as my score is over 900, I assumed it was due to the amount.
My proposed next step is to take out 2 cards for half the amount and hopefully transferring that way ... but I can’t find any info that suggests this is possible.
In short, can I split a balance of an existing card to several whilst taking the offer of 0% on balances?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Your decline was due to your score being completely irrelevant, and everything to with the lender criteria.
Try a soft eligibility checker and check your credit files. The fact you've been declined for such a small amount suggests you may have a less than perfect history, or are over indebted.0 -
To answer your question, yes you could split the balance between multiple cards. Problem is you dont get to decide your limit.0
