Question about paying next bill with credit card

Just a quick question i have a balance on my next account of about £400 i know you can't balance transfer next but if i pay my bill using my credit card which is 0% for 12mths on purchases would this class as a purchase if you see what i mean.

    I would doublecheck with the bank incase this is classed as a money transfer - no harm in asking.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Chocolatebum thats good news, i had already done it when i asked the question it was only after i started to panic it could be classed as something else.

    Will just have to wait for the statement and see i suppose.
