Lots of mentions of Stoozing by name, but no credit given to Stooz or Clariman. According to the article stoozing was "popularised by MoneySavingExpert’s Martin Lewis", which I guess is true to a fair extent.
Given that interest rates are perking up, and 0% no fee deals are available, it is possible to make a bit of money again.

About 6 months back a tiook advantage of a deal from virgin. Not 2 months back I was accepted for a Sainsbury's 14 month 0% apr no fee BT and I have locked the balance into a 6.06%, 12 month savings bond. RBS/Ulster/RBS have a 16 month no fee offer and I bank with RBS so there's that to explore and I think HSBC have/had a deal.
Re: A 'Stoozing' article in the Telegraph a couple of days ago
both HSBC are charging balance transfer fees now, from what i have just seen.
RBS are offering 0% for 14months with No Fee. that's tasty
i have a balance coming to the end of a 0% deal on 19th October.

I hardly even spend on credit cards anymore.
I mule balances straight to my current account, then on to savings. I have a couple cards kept specifically for that purpose.
Re: A 'Stoozing' article in the Telegraph a couple of days ago
My mule cards are MBNA Everyday Card. No money transfer fee, you'd need to check the fee free money transfers are still available. I then transfer the amount the credit amount the new card offers to your bank account, and simultaneously move the amount from the new card to the MT card; you might pay a couple of day's interest before the BT to the new CC comes through.
My Virgin card has previously been OK to go into credit with a BT from another card, then move the amount to my current account no fee.

i'm pretty much out of the game now, with just c£2700 on the above mentioned RBS card.
i suppose i've morphed from 'Stoozer' to 'Investor', along with some playing with accounts to generate some bonuses and cashback again recently.
