When to shift, would they extend?

Options
Morning, my 0% interest free period ends on 21.4.22 with Sainsburys. I still have a balance to pay but it should only be another six months before its cleared. I qualify for the Santander card, I have done the eligibility checker this morning. Am I ok to go ahead with the balance transfer now? I am worried that leaving Sainsburys early would cause me to be charged. I cannot find anything on the statement that says about possible fees for leaving the card before the 0% rate ends and I cant get through on the phone to ask them, because of coronavirus still apparently!? Are Sainsburys likely to extend the interest free period beyond April if I were to ask them, does anyone know? Many thanks in advance  :)

    There is nothing in your agreement that allows for interest to be charged for early repayment.

    They won't extend as it furthers their losses.
