More 0% BT cards than needed!

Coming to the end of a particular BT 0% offer period, in readiness for the next shuffle, I applied for several cards. Accepted on them all, I now have more 0% BT cards with more credit limit than I need (after doing the shuffle)

I recall Martin saying in the past use them, although I'm not sure for what. I'm concerned that when I need to do a shuffle again early 2009 I won't be accepted because I have a) too many cards in my name, b) too much credit limited attached to my profile. Would I be better off cancelling these cards and closing the respective accounts.

Your advice appreciated.....:cool:

    Probably too late but you should try to get an Egg Money card which allows positve balances which you can then transfer to a high interest savings account. It also pays interest on positive balances and free cash withdrawels (again on positive balances) from atm's.

    If you can't use Egg Money , phone up and ask the issuers for 'balance transfer cheques' (which should only carry the same fee as the original promotional BT offer) Many will send them out unsolicited anyway - eg my NatWest card issued cheques with the same 0%/2.5% fee as the BT I actually did (to Egg Money)
    .....under construction.... COVID is a [discontinued] scam
  • Thanks for your thoughts. In other words, so long as I'm efficiently on top of the promotion end dates, stoozing pays....
