Existing Customer Transfer Offers
What Money or Balance transfer offers are existing customers getting and where from?
I’m especially interested in the percentage fee. For example Lloyds are currently offering me 24m BT with 3% fee.

There has been a recent post on this, it is largely irrelevant as what one gets is not what someone else will get
Barclays were giving me 6 months 0% £0 fee as a change from the usual 18-24 months 3%. Natwest were giving me 18 months 2.9% but then pulled it this month. HSBC consistent 15 months 3.5% fee.

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.

Thanks to everyone who has commented so far.
It's very relevant as the comments show that the current 'norm' is around 3%, however there is an outlier with a 0% fee and and another with a 5.9% fee.0 -
You are misreading,or it's been written poorly- it's 0% fee but 5.9% apr interest. No existing customer card offers 0% fee, 0% interest afaik,with 2.9% the current best. New customers may get no fee 0% though from certain providers.

Apologies, it was the Halifax one 1 I was referring to from JGB1955 - rather than the Lloyds group ones that offer no fee, but a standard APR of around 5.9%.
I can believe some lenders would offer higher transfer fees. For example, Tesco like to offer me a 4.99% BT fee.

M&S 15 months for 3.49%
Nationwide 18 months 2.49%
I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?1 -
It's not relevant at all as that "norm" doesn't mean you will get that, what people get will be based on their history with that lender over time, plus their credit file and income. Barclays went through a period of giving me 2-3 year offers at a consistent 2.9%, they gave me a MT 18 month at 3.3%, then swapped to the 6 months 0% £0 fee deal for 2 months, now nothing even though my balance is down.
You can use it for your own entertainment purposes, but there is no "norm" as what I get and what surreysaver gets etc has no relation to what you will get. HSBC are offering 3.09% on a new card for 36 months but offer me 3.5% for 18 months in app. Tesco offer 36 months at 3.45% but offer me 12 months at 5%, I only keep the card open as I get YouGov points for it, ditto NatWest who were offering 18 months 2.9% last month (vs 3.1% 36 months new) and nothing this month
