Is it possible to transfer a balance from a store credit card to a conventional credit card?
To be more specific, how about an eBay or PayPal Mastercard to a Platinum card?

Your question was pretty cut and dried till you muddied the water with your examples.

Major credit cards are Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express -- there are some others but these are the most popular. They come in a wide range of flavors, thru various banks, with all sorts terms.

A store charge card is one that is only good at one store -- Macy, Sears, Target, etc. You can do a balance transfer from a major credit card to pay off a store charge card.

Ebay and Paypal are not credit cards.

yes, you are essentially using the conventional credit card to pay the balance of the store credit card which in essence transfers it.

A sure way to find out is to call the issuer of your credit card.


jason
if your card company issues NO FEE cehcks to be used to transfer a balance you could do it that way.

yes you can. just find new card issuers that offer 0% intro apr with 12 months intro period to confirm this. when the intro period is near the end transfer again to another card with 0% intro apr. make sure pay the minimum regularly on time so that you will increase your credit rating. that is what i've learned to play the credit card game. hope that helps.

The first thing to look out, when a person wants to transfer his balances is a credit card which offers the lowest apr rates and lowest balance transfer fees. Many online credit card companies offer credit card comparisons. It is indeed a good practice to search for the credit cards using their services and decide on a credit card which offers the maximum savings. It is important to note here that balance transfer APRs depend on a person's credit history. If the credit card in question offers the lowest rates, it is definitely for those with the best credit ratings. There are different balance transfer apr's for people with lower credit ratings. So, it becomes imperative that one chooses the credit card which offers the lowest apr and balance transfer fees for his credit ratings.

When you decide for a balance transfer it doesn't mean that your obligation for payments towards your outstanding balances with the existing credit card company cease to exist. You will have to pay the credit card company all the monthly payments. One way you can save money is to just send the monthly minimum payments to the existing credit card company. This way you won't default and invite penalty.

The next step is to sign up with the credit card which you sought for transferring your balances, and fill up the balance transfer application. Read more from: http://www.credit-card-gallery.com/article/414,The_right_way_to_credit_card_balance_transfers

The only way to know this answer is to contact one of the creditors that you're questioning, but personally, I've never heard of that being done and I have my doubts.

Good luck!! :-)

No. different companies

depends if the ebay/paypal allows balance transfers. if they allow you to pay a CC w/ a CC then yes...but most store cards only allow cash, check or direct withdrawal from a bank acct.
