    Fine, how are you?
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Hmm. That's strange. I wonder why Barclays don't like you.
  • hi guys hope you dont mind me jumping in your lovely thread :D

    quick advice really.

    i got 2 cards atm 1 virgin, 1 barclaycard. just got accepted on tesco cc 0% for 14months yesterday so will transfer the bulk of my debt from barclaycard to this one but will still have some left over on barclaycard. plus my 0% deal on virgin is going to be running out early next year so will be looking at getting that shifted to another card too.

    as im with virgin (mbna) and barclaycard it seems im already with two cc companies that offer good long term 0% balance transfer deals. also now im with tesco it means thats another one down.

    have i missed any that i can apply for long term 0% balance transfer that would help in me transferring the rest of my barclaycard debt and my virgin one next year. i intend to cut up my barclaycard once the debt has been shifted because they never give me any good deals and also i could then use them again at a future date.

    your help is much appreciated! :D
