Close credit card after 0% period ends?
I've a Barclaycard credit card which had an interest free period for purchases that is coming to an end, and I've cleared the balance.

Credit card for car hire only.
Hi all, I don't have a credit card, I don't think they are a good idea, BUT, it seems that car hire companies require you to have one. Any recommendations for a card that is free to get, will almost likely never be used, and only ever quoted for the refundable deposit on a car hire please? Thank you so much everyone 😀

0% purchase card - what does it mean exactly?
Planning to apply to a 20-month 0% purchase card. What does this mean exactly? Let's say I get the card with £2,000 limit. I do a £1,500 purchase. Does this mean I pay nothing for 20 months? And in 20 months, which is December 2026, I pay £1,500 with zero interest. Many thanks
