Default Need a balance transfer?

Barclaycard are currently doing 22month Interest free. 8 questions and a minute later I was approved for £17,500 on a credit card Crazy people. I only have £9k between my cards and they do that!

Still the letter says I can only withdraw £5650 cash...

I thought banks were not lending..

So if your running out of interest free and need a new card. Try barclaycard.

Are we to believe this or is this another wind up? At least you can use the £17500 on the card to go somewhere better than Maccys for dinner

It's true. im completly shocked and the amount they have set.
I don't intend taking the cash and the 2% fee is far better then the interest that starts in July...

I transferred a £7,500 balance to Barclaycard a few years ago and it was interest free......for the life of the balance...saved me a fortune

Barclaycard do seem to do silly credit limits, I have one too only with a couple of hundred quid on but the credit limit is something like 12k

I still will get a blob... the £9k I have will be gone in 10months.

It's my 30th VERY soon and I need a treat.

Since I was 21 I've had £25k worth of debt, so the money I pay a month out on that I havn't seen for the last 9yrs so a few extra months won't have a huge impact.
