0% BT & purchase card question

in Credit cards
I have Coop card that I have used to make 0% BTs. The 0% promotion ends on 1st April. Let's assume I clear the full balance, say a week before this date. If I then make a purchase on the empty card before 1st April, do I have to clear the balance again by 1st April to avoid interest charges, or is it still OK to settle in full by the payment due date?

The purchase won't be at 0%
It will be at the higher purchase rate.
There won't therefore be a limit on time for paying it back!0 -
So to avoid interest charges on this purchase, if you pay the balance by the payment due date on that month's statement, you'll be fine. Assuming the first part re: paid off the BT before made the purchase, and checked to ensure card was back to £00

That's what I thought, but wanted to double check. Thanks everyone.0
