The 32 month seems a winner with such a low fee, I'm on track to clear my current one before it runs out though so will resist the temptation.

Joint-longest ever you mean. MBNA do a similar-termed card.

32 month is a much better deal but for long term security the 43 month is brilliant!

or 0% forever with no fees if you just resist the urge to spend money you don't have yet.. if I could go back 20 years and give my younger self some great life advice it would be to never take out loans or creditcards to fund a lifestyle I've not earned yet.. it's just a massive chain around your neck for years and years keeping you subscribed to the rat race and limiting your life choices.

It all depends how you spend/invest the money, if you're going to use it on a holiday or a car depreciating faster than speed of light then it's your choice. Otherwise you can use this money to clear out more expensive debts such as, make mortgage over-payments, or put the money in safe investments (ISA, bonds etc).
My mortgage lender allows making over payments using credit card so I just use my everyday credit card to make over-payments and then use one of these balance transfer cards to clear out the balance on my everyday credit card, and then slowly pay off credit card debt within the 0% interest free period. Takes a little discipline and planning but that's what I call savings.

lol I meant 43 months. Cheaper than my car loan.
Also many people take loans e.g. Homes, cars to better their lifestyles and disciplined enough to pay it off.
Kind regards,
