Fast Stoozing, is this ok?

So after clearing old debts i'm now in a position to start stoozing.
Just wanted to check if this process is ok
Been accepted for an RBS balance transfer card 0% fee 0% interest 22months
I have on one of my other cards a money transfer offer, 0% fee, 5.9% life of balance

so if i do the money transfer offer into my bank account (at 0% fee) and then balance transfer that onto the new RBS card at 0% fee then I'll have the stooze debt on a 0% 22 month deal for no fee?  with possibly i guess a few days of the money on the 5.9% life of balance card?

obviously need to do minimum payments on the RBS card.
then get the money in the highest savings i can find?

anything i've missed?

    Sounds like the normal process. Just make sure you only utilise 95% of your RBS CC limit. The offer you have is MBNA I pressume.
  • Transferring funds from your bank account onto the credit card is not a balance transfer. Balance transfers are card-card.

    yes, thats why i said i had a "money transfer" offer. 
    money transfer into the bank account from Card A
    then balance transfer from Card A to Card B

    They are using 2 cards

    From->To
    Money Transfer Card (5.9%APR & 0% Fee) -> Bank Account

    Then Balance Transfer Card (0% APR (22months?) & 0% Fee) -> Money Transfer Card

    What Money card do you have OP?
