Santander 0% Card

The_Widdy

Just checking on what people think of the Santander Everyday credit card. I got the card for the 0% on balance transfers.
On activating my card, I tried to transfer to clear the balances on my three other credit cards (2 Capital Ones, and 1 Virgin Money credit card) and two days later the balance transfers failed.

Customers services said it might have been because the card was not fully activated, and to try them again - I duly did and two days later they failed again. Customer services and the specific balance transfer team couldn't give me any reason why these may have failed again. Card details correct and balance is way within the credit limit (about 60% of my available limit). The card works fine as I have used it on a normal transaction to test it.

All I am told to do, is try a third time and I am reluctant to keep going around in circles. Has anyone else ever had a similar problem and found a solution?

My second attempt on the BT’s was over the phone, they still failed after two days. 

Santander do not know why.

I had this issue, activated the card, confirmed was activated and had the BT reversed 3x including 95% and 90% utilisation. Did it over the phone from Barclaycard and that finally worked - was about 3 weeks after activation
