Transfer card that accepts British Airways Amex

Ganga

I have a B A Amex card ,i paid for our up coming holiday on it and payment of the balance is due in a couple of weeks ,whilst we have sufficient funds in the bank to pay this in full ( i could pay the minimum but do not want to pay interest ) i was thinking of getting a zero fee /zero interest balance transfer card and transferring the total over and paying it off over 3 months ,this would help with cashflow till the next tax year starts and can access my pension pot tax free keeping a healthy balance in the bank account for emergencies etc.
Does anybody know which cards accept transfers from BA Amex as i know not all do. ( Sainsburys bank does not )

If you have the cash, I'd just pay it - any transfer will incur a fee, so it will cost you money overall (that's assuming you get accepted for a card)

It is possible to get a Zero fee as well as a Zero interest Balance Transfer card so no added costs but which one is the problem.

What do eligibility calculators tell you? They're imperfect but might give you a guide on who / practicality of this...

Checked on the MSE site and told would be accepted by many BUT when i got the Sainsbuys Bank Transfer Card even after telling them i wanted to transfer from the Amex card it would not go thru ,Amex only has 15 numbers on the front so site said " not recognized " spoke to bank ,Oh we do not transfer from that card ! ,waste of time so looking for a card that will accept transfers.

ignoring the no fee bit... Virgin and MBNA both will transfer from AmEx

I've transferred to Barclaycard from AmEx without issues.

AmEx is AmEx, they all have the problematic 15 number card number

I have transferred from Amex to the Santander card, and also to a Nationwide credit card. In both cases there were no fees whatsoever.
