Virgin Money extends 0% balance transfer offer to 13 months

Virgin Money is planning to help extend the Christmas cheer by launching a new credit card deal with a market leading 13 month interest free period for balance transfers*.

The new card is being launched to give customers a great new balance transfer deal for 2007. As well as offering 0.00% p.a. on balance transfers* for 13 months, the new Virgin Credit Card also offers a rate of 0.00% p.a. on card purchases for 3 months from the date the account is opened. After the introductory period the card will revert to a standard typical rate of 15.9% APR (variable).

John Franklin, spokesman for Virgin Money, said: ‘Christmas can be an expensive time so as an extra bonus we have launched a card that gives people even longer to pay off their existing balances at a rate of 0.00% p.a.* Thirteen months interest free is a great opportunity for people to get their finances in order and beat the post Christmas blues.’

Additional benefits of using the Virgin Money Credit Card include instant discounts from Virgin Holidays, Virgin Megastores, Virgin Wines, Virgin Active and Virgin Money.

Franklin added: ‘The great discounts on offer with the Virgin Credit Card can also help customers make some valuable savings when spending in the January sales.'
