Has anyone tried multiple balance transfers?

Hi, I owe money on two credit cards, but one is all at 0%. . I have balance transfer offers on both cards (barclaycard and halifax). I would like to transfer 1000 backwards and forwards 14 times until all the balance on the barclaycard is at 0%, without affecting my long 0% on the other card,(also has the benefit of reducing the fees). Has anyone tried doing this? Do they withdraw the offer after you have made a couple of transfers?

Before you do anything (and it really is a muddle from your post WHAT you're trying to achieve)
Are these 0% Balance transfers FEE FREE transfers???How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0 -
What?
More details required, as well as posting in the correct forum0 -
This seems pointless, making some assumptions, you are paying interest on the barclaycard, not on the Halifax.
So if the BC balance is £5k and you transfer £1000, you reduce the balance to 4k, and then transfer it back, making it 5k again, plus possible 3% transfer fee both ways, so that will cost you £60 to be back where you started.
By all means explore the possibility of transferring from your barclaycard to your Halifax, if that is at 0%, but don't over complicate this.
Also ask to get thread moved to credit card boardNo.79 save £12k in 2020. Total end May £11610
