Money transfer card AND a new balance transfer card?

Options
Hi :)

I’m trying to get my finances sorted Pre-Brexit....

My 0% finance for kitchen is due in November and I’m looking at a money transfer card for to top up my savings to pay the balance off.

BUT my credit card 0% limit also runs out early next year so I’m wondering if I could apply for money transfer card for kitchen and then a balance transfer card to transfer my credit card balance to before Brexit kicks in incase this massively affects the financial market- I should have enough savings to pay my credit card off by mid next year but not in time for the 0% and I just don’t want to pay the ridiculous credit card fee.

So basically my question is can I apply for these both at the same time or is this a really bad idea? I have a great credit score and usually get ridiculous credit limits. Sadly kitchen won’t accept credit card payment so looks like a money transfer is my only option.

I’m just very aware of the potential financial impact if I wait until after Brexit to sort credit card.

Thanks :beer:

  • Another Brexit-fear post.
    Calm down...

    Yes you can apply for both, although your “great score” plays no part in the lending process.
  • Well believe me I had no fear until I happened to be off and watching daytime TV all about “move cards now if they’re due to run out!!” So started to worry a bit after checking my 0% so would rather not risk it especially when it’s due start of next year :rotfl:

    Thanks for your response - oh and credit score comment was just to make clear I’m not of a low credit score to save those responses
  • Low credit score, high credit score - it makes no odds regardless.
