Does anyone know if these transfers are 0% for 6 months from the date the
account is opened or 6 months from the date of the transfer?

I have just got my &more card and I think I got through to a call centre in
Varanasi (hope this is spelt right!) where a very friendly chap called
Mahendranath activated my card for me.

The first hurdle was to avoid being sold the repayment insurance *just* 75
pence per month per £100 (read £37.50 per month on a £5k transfer!!), where
I had to almost apologise for not actually needing it!

Secondly and more importantly he said that I get 0% 6 months from the date
of the transfer, when I'm used to it being from the account opening date,
but he was *insistent* that it's 6 months from the date of the transfer.
This seems at odds with the printed leaflet, so I'm wondering what the real
answer is?
