just sorted myself out so that everything I owe is on 0% cards and m about to SBT my Egg Anniversary offer.
The thing is it leaves me with about £3000 unused on my limit.
is it advisable to stooze this or not ?
Cheers

£3000 stoozed over 5 months (anniversary offer) would earn you about £60 before tax, so that is the upside. Check that you don't have any BT fees to pay, otherwise that will pretty much wipe out your £60 !
The other big consideration is really down to you ... it depends on what sort of attention to detail you have and whether you will feel tempted to spend the money. There is a lot of information on MSE about stoozing (see Martin's articles linked above). There is also a specific Risks section on the stoozing website.

Cheers for that. I've no BT fees to pay.
I've got myself sorted for the first time ever and now i'm on the ball with everything logged down.
it's time I made some money from the banks at last instead of the other way around....0 -
You should be OK then, but don't let down your guard. Make absolutely certain you know the date when the 0% ends etc etc etc

As I said I've done that (in triplicate
) so I will ensure its all covered.
Thanks for the advice and help to you and everyone on the site.0
