Credit cards which allow a balance transfer from a family member

I would like to help my daughter out by transferring her balance from her MBNA card to one in my name. I know Barclays allow it and have got a card with them, but not enough of a limit. Tesco don't even though my existing card would cover it! Capital do and I think according to MS's list TSB do. Do you know of any others not related to MBNA? I realise there could be problems but do trust my daughter whose fixed rate mortgage has just ended and the CC debt on a % rate is preventing them from borrowing what they need on a new fixed rate, so I appreciate any help, please. Many thanks.

  • Tesco say they don't allow it but I never had a problem putting them through online from my then-fianc!'s (now my husband) card to mine. But you risk being in breach of T&Cs if they notice.

    Virgin initially rejected a BT from my card to his, but suggested I could become an additional card holder on his account then they'd allow it, so we did that.
