    You ask (MBNA, Virgin for example) for a 'money transfer' to your current account. Do not take a 'cash advance' because that won't be given at 0%.

    As regards "limit", do you mean the credit limit or the maximum you can take off the card? If the former, no one can tell you that so you'll have to wait and see (don't raise your hopes too high though since it's your first card). If the latter, it's up to 95% of your credit limit.
