I've recently applied for a MBNA card which gives 25months interest free 0% balance transfer card with a 1% fee. The card arrived and it stated you will get 25 months 0% interest with a 1% balance transfer fee- all good so far! I went on line to transfer a balance from another card but it wouldn't let me, it said there are no offers on this card. So I rang them to ask them to balance transfer from another card and they said there are no offers on this card. Has anybody experienced this before or can explain why? I have £7000 available but cant balance transfer anything onto it. Its basically useless to me.

How long after being accepted for the card did you wait to try and attempt the transfer, some only have a very specific period when they allow the transfers, usually within X days of acceptance.0
-
How long had the card been open? The offers are usually only available for a short time at the start.0

it was a brand new card. Just sent to me yesterday! it says i have 60 days to transfer a balance. Opened it about a week ago and as soon as it arrived I tried to do the balance transfer and it said 'no offers on this card despite the blurb on the piece of paper attached to the card saying you have 0% interest free on balance transferes for 25 months and a 1% transfer fee. Never known anything like this and I've been playing this game for many years now.0

Make a written complaint and enclose a copy of the offer - that should do the trick?0
