    Hi Dolally,

    You can do a balance transfer. Just phone up MBNA and give them your Cap 1 cc details and they will do the rest. But check your paperwork for the balance transfer fee. I think it is 3%. So if you had £1000 on the Cap 1 to clear, you would pay £30. Did you get a promo rate for BTs. I got 1.9% which obviously isn't as good as 0%, but it's close enough for me :)

    Hi Sammy,

    Thanks for that, is it ok to do a balance transfer if it is not my card? I'm not bothered enough to do an SBT but more curious to see if it is possible.
    Otherwise, we shall pay his cap one bill separately and put summat like fuel on MBNA to kickstart the greens :D

    right im a bit gutted that they have only preapproved a limit of £100 but said it could increase when they actually receive my credit agreement!!

    however i asked about a limit increase and it is automatic if you are within your limit with no missed payment its practacally guarantee'd to go up on your 4th statement

    Ooh, crikey. I don't know if you are able to do a balance transfer from a card in someone else's name?? One of the experts will be along to give the answer to that. I remember seeing that question being asked before, but can't remember what was said lol
  • do you know when the next stage of the increase limit is?
  • ah well at least it was an approval, hope you get the increase, they seem to be quite good about it now from what ive read. im one of the ones that has had it three years with no increase tho but dont care now i got my shiny mbna!:D
