Why did I get declined for balance transfer

The issuer will hold your balance transfer request until they are able to confirm the amount to transfer in relation to your credit limit. If your credit limit is lower than the amount of money you requested to transfer from another card, the issuer will likely reject the request.

How long do you have to wait to do a balance transfer
A balance transfer occurs when you move a balance from one credit card to another, and this process typically takes about five to seven days. But a word of warning: Some credit card issuers can take 14 or even 21 days to complete a balance transfer.
What happens when a transfer is declined
If the recipient declines the money you sent them, the funds are automatically returned to your account.

Avoid transferring a balance up to the new card's full credit limit. If you transfer a balance that either maxes out your new card or gives it a really high utilization rate, that could hurt your credit score. A maxed-out card can lower your score by more than 100 points, according to myFICO.

We recommend checking every couple of days to see if the original card issuer has received the funds. You'll typically see it reflected on your account just like a normal credit card payment.

What is the catch to a balance transfer
But there's a catch: If you transfer a balance and are still carrying a balance when the 0% intro APR period ends, you will have to start paying interest on the remaining balance. If you want to avoid this, make a plan to pay off your credit card balance during the no-interest intro period.
