Virgin BT card

Please does anyone know how long it takes virgin to process a credit transfer. I’ve had the email confirming acceptance and saying that the transfer if being processed but I’ve stupidly left myself with just a day left before my old 0%card starts charging interest I applied and got accepted for the virgin card on Saturday

    I'd give it to at least the end of the week, as they need to create the account and then process the transaction.

    Mine went through instantly, too fast because I hadn’t created the balance I wanted to transfer! (Car on another card). I rang and they sorted it out, very helpful. Try ringing?

    Just had a text to confirm balance, answered back straight away, ten mins later another text to say the transfer has been processed...phew! Feeling very lucky as I’m assuming the interest rate would have been applied to the remaining balance so my carelessness would have cost me £400 on £2,600??? Lesson learnt hopefully be more careful next time. Thanks you your replies
