    Just remember that it becomes YOUR debt when you do that.

    Forget MBNA because the purchases offer will probably only be for purchases made in the first 60 days. Go for the Virgin card the third card listed. Use the eligability checker on Virgin's oiwn site first to avoid disappointment. Good luck.
