John Lewis New Day - Transferring a balance from this card. Problems

southweststokie

Would anyone have successful transferred a balance from the new John Lewis Partnership Card? Tried to do this to Sainsbury's C Card at 0%, who are saying that it can't be done. JL Card number prefix isn't set up on their system, so no go. Would anyone have succeeded in doing the same but with another provider?
Thank you

Sounds like Sainsbury's Bank's system doesn't have the NewDay John Lewis card BIN in their system.

You could try opening a complaint with them and seeing if that triggers them to follow a manual path with it (balance transfers are 'just' faster payments after all, there's no integration between issuers specific to this system).

You’ll have to do a money transfer to your own current account then pay it manually to New Day I’ve had to do this myself recently. However, it will be recorded as a cash advance on your credit file.
