Santander Everyday BT Card - BT Rules

in Credit cards
Evening all,
I currently have a small balance on a standard Tesco car at an APR of 19.9%, which I want to BT.
I can easily clear this in the next 6 months however I also want to building up my cash savings balance (well my current account balance paying 3%).
In addition to the Everyday card having no BT fee (in addition to 0% for 27 months on BTs), my understanding is that you can transfer a balance at any point during the 27-month period at a 0% fee (which is rare for BT cards), and enjoy the 0% BT rate for however long is left of the 27 months.
My question is - each month if I build up a balance (to transfer money from my salary to an interest-paying current account) - Can I each month just keep BT'ing the balance from my Tesco credit card? I.e. Balance £1,000 on a Tesco CC, BT that to Santander, Run up another £1,000 on Tesco CC, BT that to Santander etc.
I can't see why not!
Thanks in advance for your replies.

If the BT window is still open, and you have the headroom on the Santander card, yes.
Remember to have an exit plan though.0 -
