in Credit cards
Can someone please confirm the following for me please?
If I transfer the balance of my credit card to Citibank taking up their Life of Balance Offer I pay a fee for the tranfer and thereafter no interest, never?
I can then make regular payments on the balance until its finally paid off?
I can put the Citibank card away and never use it, without any penalty?
I can also open another account with another provider to use for spending only.
Isn't that too good to be true?
Many thanks.

You haven't stated which card you have, though none of the cards offer 0% Life of Balance that I could see.
The best I found was the Platinum card with no balance transfer fee, but 5.8% interest per annum on the life of the balance, so you will pay interest.
The Citi Platinum MasterCard With iTunes Rewards has a lower interest rate but there's a fee attached to the transfer.
The 0% balance transfer offer cards are only for 12 months.
Their card offers are here.Dave. :wave:0
