    why not shove the £1200 in a savings account until your 0% deal finishes and make a little money.

  • I agree with LilacPixie, invest it and get someone to give you some interest till the 0% ends then pay off the CC. But you don't say how much the CC balance is. How about setting up the savings account with the £1200 and putting £50 a month into it then next year pay off the CC AND have a holiday?
