Can I use a 0% purchase card to pay another 0% purchase card?!

Hello there,

I have 3 cards currently that I got for purchases as had long 0% deals.

Tesco which ends about April, M&S which ends about June, and just got a Sainsburys one.

Question is, can I use the new Sainsburys card to call Tesco and starting clearing it before April comes round, or does that not count as a purchase?

Also, once the Tesco deal is over, am I best to cancel it then try and re-apply after a while?

Thanks!

    You cannot pay a credit card bill with another credit card. What you may be able to do is balance transfer.

    Balance transfers are different from purchases.
    You need to check your bakance transfer interest rate if that is what you mean.
    Purchases are just what it says on the tin.
    The purchases of good and services.
    Not cash, not foreign cash, not balance transfers or money transfers.
  • Thanks, no worries thats fine, I thought as much really!

    How about appling for another once they are expired?
