Is it possible to use balance transfers to avoid interest with major credit cards?

Juggling money inbetween two credit cards to avoid interest.?

  • I'm not too sharp with this whole credit card business. But if I owe say £500 on a credit card A, if I pay that off with credit card B within the time allowed so as not to bay any interest. Can I then the next month use credit card A to repay the £500 now on credit card B. So only having the £500 in any account for no more the 3/4 weeks. Would this avoid any interest at all untill I repaid it in full?

  • Answer:

    It really depends on the conditions and restrictions of your credit cards. Many credit cards charge a balance transfer fee which in many cases may be as much as the interest you are saving. GOOD LUCK

its not that smart to do, your credit card companies will notice plus there are times that they will look upon those transactions as a interest charging event. Most CC companies only offer a small window of time where balance transfers are fee free.

I think you would avoid the interest but you will pay a transaction fee for the balance transfer.
