0% balance transfer credit card with low or no transfer fee?

2»

Comments

  • I recently applied for the Abbey credit card. That's 0% with no balance transfer fee. I got the recommendation from this site so it must be here somewhere.

    I think it's only 0% for 6 mths though, but that is better than nothing.

    I think you'll find that deal's been pulled.

    The Abbey Zero card is no longer offered, and neither is the ICICI Platinum card. AFAIK, there are no zero-fee balance transfer cards any more.
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.

    Isn't the ICICI card a no fee?

    I have no experience of ICICI personally (other than its savings account), but forum users have reported extreme inefficiency in processing cc applications and a balance transfer (minimum 6 weeks, sometimes longer).

    Some have encountered difficulties transferring the remaining balance to a new 0% BT card as well :rolleyes:

    ICICI Platinum Credit Card is the only one at the moment (19th March 2009) offering 0%, but for 3 months only.

    Good luck!

    I have it on good authority that this card is no longer available, even though the Stoozing website states that it is.

    Hi all,

    Had a letter to say card is closing may, my card expires april so no new card, they are using a MBNA card from then, but you have to apply, not the normal transfer like others have done when swapping to MBNA, also which I did nto think they were allowed to do, is that you have to clear the balance by then by the MBNA card or by some other you may hold, or of course from reserves.

    Nightmare as this card had a decent low interest rate.
