Credit Card Balance Transfer Strategy /Tactics

So I want to consolidate a few cards and do a BT to some new cards.

Now what tactic or strategy is best to use? Should I take out a new BT card once at a time? Or do them all on the same day? Or say one after a month?

I have had a CC for over 20 years. Not missed a payment in my life on anything and been at the same address for the same amount of time. However I was a victim of card fraud and I am on CIFAS cat2.

So can anyone tell me what is the best strategy to get some new cards for BT?

  • Apply for one card with the longest promotional period and the lowest fee.
    You may be referred because of the CIFAS registration but that should be a formality because you are on there for your protection , not because you have committed fraud.
