WARNING - This method needs to be done
very very carefully SO if you DO NOT understand it after a three
or four reads DO not go for it as it will be costly if you miss
something The advantage of the method is
that you get a lump sum of 0% interest cash immediately which
you can then invest in any high interest account. With the the
first method above you have to wait on a month by month basis to
obtain the full amount of credit.
The key to this method is the Egg
Money Credit card and its features ie: it has some functions of
a current account. You can have a positive balance, and easily
transfer money to other bank accounts. This feature enables you
to transfer cash from a 0% deal into your normal, everyday
account.
this is what you will need ;
Use the 0% Credit card to "Pay off" the Egg
Money Credit Card. As you will no doubt realise, as you have
just got your egg card, you have no balance to pay off BUT there
are no rules about making such a balance transfer only to cards
or accounts that are in debt.
So for example your new 0% Credit card allows
you to have a debt of £5000 on it. You "Pay off" £5000 to your
Egg Credit Card account. It now holds £5000 credit. You pay this
£5000 into a high interest account or ISA and leave ity there
until your 0% Credit card transfer period is up. At this point
you pay the full balance off.
WELL DONE !!!!! For 12 or 18 months or
however long the 0% interest card offer was for you had £5000
sitting in a high interest account and you have made quite a
substantial amount of money. WARNING - Whatever you
do MAKE sure you make regular payments via Direct debit. If you
do not make regular payments then you will suddenly be having to
make charge payments of a very large sum of money!!!
