Can I use a Money Transfer card as a mule card?

in Credit cards
Simple question really: is there any reason why I can't do a money transfer of say £10k, clear that balance with a balance transfer to another card, and then do a second money transfer of £10k? (I would do all this within the space of about a fortnight).
The only downside I can see is the doubling up of transfer fees, but both cards have low transfer fees and great interest-free periods so it'd still be worth it in this particular case.

You can do that, as long as you have the appropriate offer and credit limit.0

You can however from personal experience; I used a money transfer with my MBNA card last year (had a regular saver that I didn't realise I couldn't withdraw on throughout the year), where after and even now everything has been paid off for a couple of months it is their standard offer for money transfer cards. No special offers like before with 0% for XX months etcThanks to money saving tips and debt repayments/becoming debt free I have been able to work and travel for the last 4 years visiting 12 countries and working within 3 of them. Currently living and working in Canada :beer: :dance:0
