Paying off credit cards

Happy New Year to you all

Just after some advice really and new to posting, always been in the background.
I have 3 credit cards and paying them off individually, is it better to see if I can put the two with the larger balance onto one card and pay them off together or keep them separate?
Any advice would be gladly appreciated, thank you in advance.

    Only combine them if you can benefit from a lower rate. Remember to factor in any BT fees.

    Better in what sense?
    If the balances are at 0% and the promotional periods have some time to go, then leave well alone.
    If you are paying interest then concentrate on repaying the card with the highest APR and, if possible, try to transfer the balances to 0% rate.
