MBNA Credit Card Extends 0% Balance Transfer Offer

Found in Category: News, Credit Cards June 19th, 2008

Once again MBNA’s credit cards the Platinum Plus Visa and Platinum Rewards Visa have had their 0% balance transfer offers extended.

A regular occurrence, the offer has been extended by 1 month this month until the 1st of August 2009. The 0% offer on purchases has also been extended by 1 month to the 1st of October 2008.

It’s quite fair to assume the rate will be increased by another month in about 1 months time and continue to do so month by month.

It’s strange they don’t just set a balance transfer offer period of 13.5 months and be done with it.

The typical APR is 15.9% (variable).

Other cards with longer 0% balance transfer offers include Virgin (15 months), Barclaycard (14 months) and Egg (15 months).
