How would you know what the amount of credit line would be before applying to know if it will be large enough to transfer a large credit card debt? If the credit line wouldn't be large enough to transfer the whole card I wouldn't want to open up another credit card account.

Before applying you can estimate your credit line (that is your credit limit) by using the average limit of your other cards but in fact it is very difficult to say for sure before applying what the amount of your credit limit will be as it is a bank or a credit card company to decide on this. To determine the amount of your credit limit as well as the interest rate and the length of the introductory period your individual credit score is used. If you are a person with excellent credit history, you will be granted the lower interest rate and higher credit limit. If your credit score is low the situation is quite opposite and in this case it is better for you to be realistic about applying for a new balance transfer card. It is possible that your rate will be higher, your introductory period may be 3 to 6 months only, your credit limit may be less than the amount you requested and you will only be able to transfer a part of your balance.
