Hi Everyone, 
As part of our snowball method we are lucky to have quite a big chunk of our debt on 2 barclaycards that have an offer of 6.9% for the life of the balance. This is good as it saves us a lot of potential interest. 
We're doing a snowball method so at the moment we are just paying the minimum on these 2 cards and focussing on some of the other higher interest stuff. My only concern is - would Barclaycard see that we are only making min payments are remove this promotional offer, or is it really for the life of the balance?

thanks

    You'll only lose the promo if you breach the terms.

    Yes we have done that. We always pay the minimum and when the times comes ( snowball wise) we will hammer the balance. i was just worried that they might eventually decide to remove the offer.

    They won't remove the offer but they may well send you letters about being in habitual debt if only paying minimum. Certainly that's what they've done with me and a 0% balance transfer offer.
