Available overdraft on current account £5000 never used
We opted for the rare opportunities to get life of balance transfers rather than the 0% because felt that while they are available to us could not risk not being able to get 0% card in future.
We have other cards with credit limits eg Morgan Stanley open so that when they offer us a good rate for transfers we can use them, never used for purchases but have had to draw down money to current account occasionally to top up money needed to pay them off. If we apply for new cards we are usually knocked back because we probably already have one of their cards anyway.
