Got this through the other day, only just opened it

2.9%APR on balance transfers for the life of the balance

That's the best offer I've ever seen.

£15 annual charge if you spend less than £500 a year on the card.

Emmm, shame I'm not modding this one eh

Sounds very good !

The only things to watch are -
the minimum monthly repayment - it is normally at least 5% of the balance per month !
and any interest charges that are added to the balance are probably liable for the full wack APR !

Still a bloody good deal though !

And stick your car insurance on it once a year and that's the 500 quid taken care of!!

MattW, yeah but as you pay the oldest items first I.e. the transfer you'd be paying the full 15.9% (I think at the mo) on the £500.

As said earlier the minimum repayment is the key. Mine is currently......... 0.2%
