Ive done the Money Saving Expert calculator and found a few with either 0% or a low transfer charge. I have £2,300 I need to transfer over as Im getting charged £30 per month with current card

For instance I have found this one with Virgin Money BUT does it mean I can only transfer £1,200 over I need to transfer £2,300???

So I've just done this the other day. It depends on what limit you get offered. The 1200 is just an example. I was offered more than that.

It depends how much credit limit they give you which varies from person to person and you won't find out until you apply.

If you're referring to the £1200 at the bottom it's a representative example that they're required to give by law. It's a way of comparing costs without having to understand the complicated maths that are behind compound interest.

Subject to your finances you can have a larger credit limit. I currently have a balance transfer of about £11k with Virgin money.
