in Credit cards
Hi everyone im new to the forum and i was thinking about applying for credit cards but im not sure whether to use the 0% ones for stoozing against my flexible mortgage or cashback ones.
Also does the money which is paid into your flexible mortgage and then taken out at the end of the 0% period make a difference to the loan amount?
Please help. Thanks :xmassign:

If you can, get both - a cashback and a (or several) stoozing cards. But use the stoozers exclusively for stoozing, and your cashback one not for stoozing. Hope this makes sense!0

If credit limit is low, but spending is high you can make more with cashback. For example, with £2000 limit and £1000 spending you can make about £2000*5%=£100 by stoozing or £12000*1%=£120 via cashback.
). However, if my financial situation was such that I could 'afford' to spend (and repay) £1K/month*, ie possibly requiring a salary of around £30-40K, I'd be extremely disappointed to receive only a £2K limit on a card.
* Unless they were business expenses, and reimbursed monthly by the employer.0
