Best Card for BT

idv Posts: 35 Forumite
Hi

I am planning on putting a holiday on a Virgin CC as you recieve £25 discount and also flying club miles, but at present they do not offer 0% on purchases.

What I am planning to do is when I have put the transaction on the Virgin CC tranfering the balance to a new 0% interest CC that does not charge you for the BT.

Can anybody recommend the best CC for this please.

I have looked at the Tesco CC but it looks as if they charge a fee for a BT ?

    Have you checked out the Co-op Bank Travel credit card?

    0% on BTs and Purchases for 7 months (no fees) plus if you book your holiday with Co-op Travelcare Direct, you can redeem the 1% travel points against a holiday (paid as a credit once you charge the travel bill to the card) and you don't get charged the usual fee for paying for the holiday with a card. On a £2000 holiday this lot can easily save you £60 or so, plus you are getting 7 months free credit on the purchase as well. Plus plus, if you BT the rest of your credit limit you get the 1% travel points on that too, again redeemed when you charge your holiday to the card!
