Balance transfer to a card and back again

Hi
I have money on a credit card which has now gone past it's 0% promo time but it does still allow new balance transfers at 0% for another 26 months.  What I'm thinking of doing is a balance transfer to another card which doesn't have great terms then balance transfer back so I can take advantage of the 26 Months.  My only worry is that the card I transfer to may have a time restriction on money going back out.  Hope that makes sense!

    Not really.

    If the promo is still valid, and they don't cut your limit before you transfer back, it'll be fine.

    Just remember to factor in two balance transfer fees.
    Maybe, find another card provider with a good deal and transfer to that card, saving you BT fee's?
