Hi, Just got my Barclaycard Platinum with the option to do 0% transfers with no fee for 20 months.  Only need to transfer a third of my available balance at present. What's the current position on overpaying different cards and requesting a 'refund' to current account? Thanks in advance.
.....under construction.... COVID is a [discontinued] scam

    I overpaid my MBNA card by mistake the other day by Balance Transfer and they refunded to my Current Account.
