Making purchases using a 0% Travel Card and then doing a Balance Transfer?

in Credit cards
Afternoon
I'm in a position where I'll be heading abroad in the near future and am debating whether doing the following is possible.
If I was to make some purchases on a 0% Travel Card such as the Santander Zero and then be able to do a balance transfer of said purchases over to the Santander Everyday Credit Card which I see is currently offering a 0% on Balance Transfers for 18 months.
Would I be incurring any fees doing this or has anyone got experience doing the above? From my understanding I can't see how I'll be charged any fees if I'm doing this.
If anyone could shed some light it would be so helpful
Thanks
Pete

You won't be able to BT between two Santander cards. You'll need one to be from another stable of cards.3

Do you actually have 2 Santander cards or are you just thinking aloud at this time?0

Just thinking aloud as I know I'm going abroad in the New Year and was hoping this could be an option to help me finance somethings.jonesMUFCforever said:Do you actually have 2 Santander cards or are you just thinking aloud at this time?0 -
Have you got any credit cards?
Credit is much harder to obtain these days due to uncertainty about the economy thanks to Covid.
So getting one card might be hard getting two a lot harder?0 -
Currently got 3 credit cards. One is inactive and the other two have relatively small balances on (-1000) which I'm in promotional periods to not clear; but I do have the funds to clear if it may make my application for a future card more likely to be approved.jonesMUFCforever said:Have you got any credit cards?

Any advice always welcomed.
