Multiple Balance Transfers

[myficomatt]

My situation: I have two cards with my CU. One has a 0% fees and APR for the first year on balance transfers, but I can't transfer balances from the same lender. My third card has 0% APR and a small fee for balance transfers.

Could I transfer from the first card to third card and then back to the second card in an effort to consolidate?

In theory yes you should be able to although will be paying at least one round of BT fees, possibly more.. Since it is a CU wouldn't worry about it to much in a normal lender I would possibly pause a bit more .

 If its something that you do infrequently, you should be fine.  I just did this exact thing between CapOne, NFCU and FNBO.  I did it last year between Barclay and CapOne with no issues.

Don't see why not .But why go through the hassle and fees right now if the 3rd card has 0%Apr anyway? You're already gonna be paying thr balance transfer fee so even if the 0%APR isn't for a full year like the second card has, I suggest you use the 3rd card for the balance transfer. Pay it off for however many months the 0% lasts on that card. (If you plan on paying anything on it in that time). Then when the 0%APR on that card is about to expire, you then transfer it to the 2nd card if you even have any balance left at the time . have you thought of this?

What the last poster said: Just pay the fee to transfer to a new bank and enjoy the 0% APR. 

As a PSA, this is why it is best to plan CC applications. If one has a single balance to transfer, jumping on an offer from the same bank with a 0% BT Fee and 0% APR is not going to be immediately useful.
