ok i have £7800 on my 0% interest till mid november credit card
i have the £7800 in the bank.
is it better to open an isa for £3000 and top up another £3000 in april and use the rest for the payments each month for up to november and then cash the isa to pay off the credit card?
i cant put the lot into savings as the minimum payments each month will leave me short unless i leave some money in my current account to pay it off.
i wouldnt really like to keep trying to get 0% credit cards as i have 5 already that i took advantage of the 0 % with ( i know it may seem the best option to get extra months worth of interest but i dont want anymore credit scoring type things at the moment or in november).
and what sort of return would i get by mid november if i were to 'do the ISA' thing.?
any help would be welcome as i am umming and arring about just paying it all off now to get it over and done with.
