    Unless the card which charges interest is a fixed rate, life-of-balance card, I'd concentrate on paying off as much of that one as possible.

    Clearing this debt ASAP will reduce the interest you pay and you'll be building a better credit history in the process ;)

    most logical one would be the one with interest, but id suggest you check the interest rates, if one of the 0% has high rates (20% +) once finished id go for that.. only as precaution, i guess if they have 0% offers they should both be under 20%.

    OR
    you could try and get another 0% deal and transfer the interest one to that card to try and save interest again
    please just thank me:p
