The BT offer (Sainsbury's bank) is coming to an end in the end of June, the DD date is mid-month. I am wondering when do I start paying interest on the existing balance? Should I clear the balance (or do another transfer) in June (before the offer ends) or in July (immediately afterwards)?

    Always err on the side of caution.

    If anything like lloyds credit card statements it will say when the date of the promo rate finishes.

    If you can afford to clear the balance, in full then do that.

    If not, try for another balance transfer card but remember to do this at least a few weeks before your current promo rate expires to be on the safe side.
