I wasn't after any extra mortgage just to pay a bit off an existing mortgage to get the interest rate down

It's all been arranged. I paid the 2 grand off the existing mortgage and got a better interest rate.
Don't ask me why but Nationwide would not accept a credit card payment to pay off a bit of the mortgage
Thats because it changes your personal circumstances - you've now incurred more debt that wasn't declared as part of the mortgage agreement in order to secure a preferential mortgage agreement - I think they call it fraud

Or you could've more than likely just done a money transfer from the credit card to your bank account.
Wouldn't doing a money transfer be classed the same as taking cash from the cash point, i.e exempt from the 0% interest.

Because paying off debt with more debt is generally a bad idea.

Neither. Had a 3 year mortgage deal which was running out, they wouldn't give their best interest rate on another deal unless the LTV was 85%. Mine was 85.9! By paying off £2k it took the LTV to under 85%

Semantics
My idea of a remortgage is extending the term to reduce payments or raising a bit of capital

Take the LTV below 60% and you'll get an even better deal. Better get applying for more credit cards and PayPal accounts
