Sky Credit Card 0% 9 months for balance transfers.
Egg Card for the annual Anniversary 5 months 0% on balance transfers.
A credit card tart & proud of it.
I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

Morgan Stanley also do a cashback card which I think is 2% for first 6 months or year then back to 1%. Also they do a air miles one 1 mile for every £10 you spend I think, when I signed up I got 1000 miles free they might still be doing that as well.

I have a Capital One credit card which gives me an extremely low interest rate on the life of balance transfers. Of far more use,in my opinion,than 0% over a relatively short time.

Egg card are very good and you can do loads on the internet so dont have the hassle of going to the bank or waiting for statements. They also have some pretty good offers around the 0% balance transfers and 0% for 6 months on purchases.
Dont go with capital one though. They are crap and not very helpful.

Guess that depends what you want to use it for. I generally pay mine off every month so I'm not too bothered about interest rates. I've only applied for one of these 0% cards now because I am getting married at the end of the month and have put a shed load of stuff on the Mastercard. I don't want to pay for it all in one go (although I could if absolutely necessary), so I applied for a Virgin card. They got back to me wanting to know my life history and three months worth of bank statements because I apparently don't have much of a credit history (well obviously, as I don't like buying things on credit). I thought sod them, so I applied for Egg online and they gave me a card with a 10K limit right there and then... Odd. Pity about the 2% fee for balance transfers though.

I went down the same route as bowfer, with capital one. Mainly because im lazy and knew that I would never be arsed to juggle my balances around, so i settled for the lowest overall rate, rather than the best introductory offer.
And I actually found them almost too willing to give me a card. It made me wonder what the crack was...
