Which would be the best Credit Card to pay off my OD..?

Hi,

At the end of March I will have an OD on my current acc. of about £1300. I want to transfer this OD to a credit card, and pay it from the CC monthly..

I will then cancel my OD on my current acc. and take it from there.

Which card would be best..? I assume I need a card with free BT's, and the longest period of 0%..?

    I think the only SBT cards available are Egg and those run by MBNA (for example Virgin Credit Cards).

    Mint sometimes issue credit card cheques that can also be paid into a Current Account.
