Well it works out at around 1% as they charge you a fee to transfer your 
balance into the card (I found 2% fee for 2 years interest free, or 1% 
fee for 1 year). It works because they assume a proportion of people 
won't switch at the end of the period (and then get charged their hefty 
standard rate of 20% or whatever on some huge amount). If you can be 
bothered to research and move around your money every time the offer is 
about to end you can get a pretty good deal long term.
