A friend has a Barclaycard that you have to charge a £1 to it every month and then your interest rate is something like 5.9%apr. They got a letter offering them a rate of 6.9%apr with 2.5% handling fee. Should they do a balance transfer to this card or not, would they lose their existing rate?

Can anyone please advise?

    Can anyone help as the balance transfer cheque expires shortly?

    I'm guessing that whatever they BT would be charged at 6.9% until paid off and everything else would be charged at the current 5.9% but your best bet would be to confirm that with Barclaycard themselves.
