Check your TD app in CC -> Manage tab for this offer. MBNA has the same offer right now: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/mbna-canada-ymmv-balance-transfer-0-10-months-1-fee-existing-credit-cards-only-2541438/ https://i.imgur.com/jvtp2jt.png You'll also get a letter for the same.

Dust off your MBNA credit card that's been sitting in a drawer and log in to MBNA's site. Some RFDers are reporting a 0% interest BT offer good for ten months, with only a 1% fee. So pay only $100 up front to borrow $10,000 for 10 months. MBNA lets you deposit this directly into a bank account, so y...

I get 0% balance transfer promotional offer from one of my credit cards from time to time. I never thought of investing with it until now. How 'stupid' is doing this? Promotional rate is for one year and there is 3% balance transfer ...
Hello, can I use a balance transfer offer even if the card is not fully paid off? What if I keep using the card?

Hello, I was doing a BT using my Scotiabank card and I sent it to the wrong CC with the date it is suppose to go being Sept 3rd. Scotia says the transfer needs to happen before they can reverse it. Does that make sense? I know MBNA has been able to block a BT before it is processed (they called me d...

Just got a decent balance transfer offer for a BMO CC I currently hold. Anyone have experience with their balance transfers? Can I balance transfer to an account (like MBNA allows you to do) to payoff say a credit line? Or does it need to go directly onto a non BMO CC?

Hello I am seeking some advice, hope you can help me decide. We are doing some renovations and I want to borrow $10K. Our original idea was to take this money from our unsecured line of credit from our bank (BMO), I think it will cost us around 6% annually. Last week I got a promo letter from MBNA c...

I used to get so many offers for 0% balance transfers for Visa Gold even while still in a balance transfer. Has anyone else noticed they stopped giving offers or is it just me?

So I signed up for the PC mastercard about a month ago and recently decided to take advantage of their 0.97% balance transfer offer. There's no option to do it myself online or through automated phone banking, one has to speak to one of their reps over the phone to have them ...

Just saw this "important" notification on my MBNA account online. Wondering if this is isolated to just one card type, or affects more (all?) MBNA cards?? I have the Best Western one. See image for fee changes: 1% for standard rates --> 3% for standard rates MBNA fee changes.png The intere...
