I recently switched credit cards to Avantcard to take advantage of their 9 month 0% balance transfer rate - https://www.avantcard.ie/credit-card
However, after receiving the card and going through the process of transferring the balance from my old credit card, I was informed that the 0% offer was only for 6 months - on querying it further, I was informed that marketing had made a mistake and that the 9 month term was for existing (?) customers only. I was wondering has anyone else signed up to this card on that basis? I'm awaiting a callback from a manager on the issue, from further digging in the legal and regulatory section of their website, they would appear to try to cover themselves:

Our website changes regularly

Further, Avantcard assumes no responsibility for any errors or omissions in the content of the website. Avantcard specifically disclaims any duty to update the information on the website.

However, given that as of this morning the 9 month 0% offer is still there, what should my next course of action be (if it's not satisfactorily resolved by the manager) - PriceWatch, ASAI?
