Is there any way I can transfer my PCP balance to a 0% Balance Transfer Card?

I've been pre approved for both MBNA and Virgin with 12k limits at 0% 34 months....

Would ideally like to do around 15k at 0% with 2.99 fee and pay over 34 months

    Not directly no. You would need a money transfer card but they normally have less time at 0%.

    Also pre-approved doesnt meant guaranteed acceptance.

    You could try gettng a money transfer card (at any rate, it doesn't matter) and use the money to pay off your loan

    you then transfer the balance from the money transfer card onto your zero percent card

    Just make sure the money transfer card does allow transfers

    BT is only between credit cards. 

    A Money Transfer puts the funds into your bank account and then you can do what you want with them. 

    The fees for a MT are fairly often a little higher than a BT but certainly with my cards with MBNA and VM they offer both BT and MT so just check if they are also offering a MT to you.
