Hi are the offers across the banner current? I clicked on the "decent long
term balance transfer" link for the Virgin 30 month 0.55 percent fee but it took me to a page where the only virgin one showing was 29 months and 3 percent fee..can mods advise please? When I go to the Virgin page they seem to want you to put all your details in before they tell you what terms they offer or what different cards they have..many thanks.

    Most offers are subject to status. That's the most they'll offer and you might not get it.

    Yes what I was getting at is that the links above show a certain deal and then actually take you to something different that is not as good so I am just wondering if the deal it shows still exists or is the page out of date?

    They're all subject to status anyway. You might get offered a lower fee, or a higher one.

    Apply and see what you get, you can always refuse it.

    This is the nearest 1 to what was listed along the top, the eligibility checker I linked too is there too.
    I cant see a 30 month card.

    Where did you see this? I can't see it anywhere. Obviously it might have changed overnight.
  • The Aqua Reward card link, under the cashback header, no longer links to Aqua. Instead it redirects you to MSE best cashback page.

    I've noticed before that the cards on the banner appear to be way out of date. Eg 'MBNA up to 43 months 0%' balance transfer - surely that's long gone? Googling suggests that it was from 2016-17!

    I think you've answered your own question - the banner of balance transfer cards at the top of the page is out of date.

    I too can see the Virgin Money card you refer to in the banner but it's not mentioned in the "Balance Transfer Credit Cards" page that the banner links to. Likewise the Sainsburys Bank card.
