I wouldn't do this. You are risking too much. CC companies can raise your rate for nearly any reason at all (the sun rose; it was a cloudy day; you missed a payment on some other card; ) If I were debt free, I'd use my own money to earn money and stay as far away from the CC companies as I can. Don't like them having power over me.

The borrower is slave to the lender. (From the Bible, I don't know where).

Oh, I am a tart, also. We call it surfing balances in the US, though. I do it all the time, and likely will until I get everything paid off!
