Balance Transfer

Hi all,

I have transfer a balance from one credit card to another due to my 0% interest period coming to an end. The card I transferred the balance to doesn't have any BT offer therefore I will be charged interest. I was planning to transfer the balance back to the card the balance came from using another promotional offer. My question is how soon can I do this? I don't want to keep the balance where it is now as I am being charge interest so keen to get it off as soon as possible.

thanking you in advance

    As long as you are absolutely sure the original card will still allow you to do a BT to it. Some cards only allow BTs within the first few weeks of opening the account, and some will allow BTs any time you like.

    Remember, every time you make a balance transfer you are probably getting a balance transfer fee!
