Adding Funds To Exceed Credit Limit On Credit Card.
I wish to purchase something that is more that the credit limit on my credit card. Is it fine to add the required extra funds to my credit card prior to the purchase, so I can purchase the item and not exceed my credit limit. If so, then will I still receive the added protection that a credit card purchase provides? Thank.

Virgin credit card transfer offer question
I have an existing amount on my card with the 0% promo rate ending in January 2026. They've offered me a new money transfer but this is only to Nov 2025. So want to know will this affect my existing promo rate date i.e will the whole balance's end date become Nox 2025? Or will the two offers / end dates run consecutively?
Discuss the art of making money by earning interest on cash that credit cards lend you at 0%.
