Money transfer card help needed please!

I'm looking at getting a money transfer card (never had one previously) instead of a personal loan.

I have a simple question that I can't seem to find the answer to online after looking for 30 minutes or so.

Can you get a balance transfer card later down the line to pay off a money transfer card like you would a standard credit card?
(when the money transfer card is nearing its end of its  0% interest a month promotional offer)

    You may find Money transfer with 0% interest hard to get. Halifax switched their offers from 0% interest (3% fee) to 3.9% interest (0 fee) Down to 12 months as well

    Simple answer Yes.
    I would qualify this by adding “provided that the balance transfer cards are still offered”. Whilst this is very likely to be the case, nothing can be taken for granted these days.
