    I don't know why people are giving multiple options? As WillPS suggested, the ONLY logical decision is to do a money transfer from the Barclaycard to your current account and then using it to pay Zable.

    Why withdrawing cash on the Vanquis card, or leaving the high interest balance on the Zable card and paying it off "as fast as you can" are even being suggested (especially as they don't seem incredibly financially literate so may get easily confused) is beyond me! 
    Do you mean me?
    - Because I don't know what "a money transfer to a debit card at 0%" actually means and cannot check because I don't know what exactly Barclaycard it is. 
    0% fee?
    0% interest? How many months?
    Among others, yes.

    They are obviously referring to a money transfer to a current account. The Barclaycard they have is irrelevant.

    The fee won't be dissimilar to the fee for a balance transfer, and is irrelevant given it will be far smaller than the interest they're paying.

    Yes - they clearly said it was 0% interest. Valid point on duration but again, if it wasn't a suitable duration then I feel like they would say.

    Because OP has not said the credit limit they got, how much they BT off Vanquis and how much space they have left? 

    £2000 limit for example, transfers £1800 + fee leaves maybe £50 to MT off hence covering the options for the OP
    If they didn't have the limit available to do the transfer, I think it's fairly obvious they would have said so.

    I refer to the well known saying about making assumptions

    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'm now referring to well known saying PMSL, which is what I did when I read previous.
