Merging Credit Card Limits Question

In the past I have applied for new interest free offer cards whilst having an existing card with the following companies:-
MBNA
Tesco
Halifax
Barclaycard
I have then been able to transfer the limit from the existing card to the new card.
I currently have the following 3 cards with decent limits:-
Santander Zero
Nationwide
Lloyds Balance Transfer
It looks like Santander and Lloyds do allow merging of limits but I don't know about Nationwide.
Has anyone ever done this with the above three or any others cards (for future reference)?
Thanks.

Are you saying you’re looking to apply for more cards from the 3 listed with the idea of merging them?
Do they offer money transfer deals?
Poster has a stoozed balance held elsewhere.
They have a nice new 0% fee free BT card, but the stoozed balance exceeds the credit limit.
So they are simply creating additional, sufficient, credit limit to maximise the deal.
Done it many times with several lenders.
