in Credit cards
I have just taken a 0% card with a well known high st bank. I also have another card with them which isn't interest free. Can i transfer the balance from that card onto a 0% card with a different provider, then in a couple of months transfer the amount back onto my new 0% card??? The 0% card with the different provider is up in May. TIA

As long as they're from different issuers and you have the headroom, yes.
However, I wouldn't wait a couple of months. Minimise the window for issues to occur.0 -
I don’t see why you can’t do that. It involves 2 BT fees though presumably.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

You could do it minutes later, doesn't have to be months later, but you will be paying double fees0

As per the previous replies, yes you can - as long as the cards are with different providers (also remember that you can't usually transfer between cards that are part of the same "group", so it's worth just checking that as well).willow_72 said:The 0% card with the different provider is up in May.0
