Having just moved home, I could use the 6 months interest free deal to move some credit card debts. I have a Barclaycard ( I know it mega expensive, but I don't use this one much), Virgin CC via MBNA bank, EGG card. So any suggestions as to a next card that could also replace the Virgin card as my main user card ?

I thank you.

Watch it though -- they almost all charge you 2% for the 'privilege' of switching balances around. Kind of knocks the edge off getting zero per cent for 6-12 months if the balance is any size.

I used to be a c/c tart but I'm over it now...

My FAVORITE (non Phs) site

www.fool.co.uk/cards/cards.htm



But without the risk of sounding biased, the co-op bank offer a pretty good new card called the "clear card" its got one low rate of 8.9% and is designed for people that can't be arsed with all the balance transfers every 6 months... plus no annual fee which is nice

dunno whether this is suitable but its worth a look ?

Capital one do a 0% (I think) but only if you have a good credit history even when it does reach the end of the 6 months it only goes up to 6%
