I have about £1,500 on my credit card, but at the moment (due to the credit crunch) I can only afford to pay the minimum amount of £50/month. Obviously this will get me nowhere, and I'm keen to avoid these useless charges.
I'm interested in getting a credit card with 0% on balance transfers, but I don't really understand how it works. Do you need to have two of these cards, and then transfer the balance between them both? I doubt I would get accepted for even ONE
I also notice that a lot of them offer e.g. nine months 0% on balance transfers, but is this from the time you open the card, or on balances over 9 months old? And what happens after this time expires? Do they whack on hefty charges, or do they allow you to continue shifting your balance as long as you do it religiously every month?
If you know about this, please advise, because I don't know what I should be looking for with these cards. Thanks.
I normally try to pay the minimum (around £40) plus an additional £20, but I try to pay as much as possible each month.
Does this mean that when I transfer my balance onto the 0% card when I open it, I don't need to transfer it off again until the 0% offer ends? I thought you needed TWO cards, and to transfer between BOTH cards EVERY month!
