How about Mint card for BT

I have not heard anyone mention this card for BT.

Why settle for just one 0%?

  • 0%bonus offer until 1 December 2009 on balance transfers debited to your account during June 2009 (2.9% fee)
Is it too good to be true?

    It's an OK offer, but it will depend on what exactly you want the card for and how you intend to use it. There are plenty of good offers out there ! Some have longer BT periods, some have longer purchase periods, some charge no fees, some also do anniversary offers.
  • I was hoping to just pay off £1500 which I owe Abbey card over a longer period of time just using the card for emergencies.

    If Abbey is currently on 0%, and you've only been making minimum payments, you'll probably see a big jump in minimum payment amounts on the Mint card (or any card for that matter).

    BTW, due to the Mint card's unequal 0% durations, you shouldn't use it for purchases once you've BT'd to it...not even for emergencies!

    I manage to paid £200 per month off my abbey card instead to the min £5.00 but the APR goes to 15.9% in Feb. Im useless at these things.:confused:
