    Having used the 0% BT with no fee, I'm now considering doing a further transfer with the 1.9% fee (if they will raise my limit again).  What I can't find out from the mail and web site is:  Is the 1.9% sum also charged at 0% APR, or should I aim to pay that plus the minimum payment when it hits the statement?

    They put the fee on the balance at 0%, there is no interest on the fee provided you keep to the agreement and pay off by due date

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I did a couple of 1.9% fee balance transfers back in March, and I have just realised that the fee was never charged to my account.  It's only a few quid, but still odd.  I have just made another 1.9% transfer so will watch to see if that transpires.
