3. I get charged £1.99 to do this
4. I repeat steps 1-3, three times
5. My Credit Card bill comes in with a 3 standard charges of £300, total £900.
6. Transfer balance of Range/Spark card into by bank account for £4
7. Pay off Credit Card with a pament of £900, with no extra fees to pay.

Job done.

Yes?
Your total cost would be, I think (not done it):

£900 credit
3x£1.99 charges
£4 fee

£909.97

So over 1%.... If you are near a range store, then get vouchers to avoid the £1.99 charges.
