Avios AMEX points on balance transferred out of card

Options
I am looking to make a £3000 purchase and I would like to earn some points using my Amex on it but not pay the 22% interest. 

Was looking at a balance transfer card to then transfer the £3000 so I can have 0% interest while I repay the purchase.

Does anyone know if this will affect my accrued points?

    No amex just see the BT as a payment, so your points will be fine. Make sure that the 0% card does Amex BTs.

    Awesome thank you @jay1804

    As far as I am aware HSBC had a good 0% offer and accepted AMEX BTs
