0% on Purchases

I'm new on here so forgive me if I don't know all the necessary etiquette

Can I just ask if anyone knows anything about cards with 0% Purchase offers? I think the Leeds Building society has one with 0% for six months.

Does this mean that if you had one you would only have to make the minimum payment on the card for six months without paying interest? and that if you paid before the six months was up (in full) you would not pay any interest at all?

Grateful for any advice

Great site by the way!

    That's pretty much the idea - click on "cards loans" at the top of the page and there's an article by martin about the best 0% deals and how they work...

    You've got the idea spot on.

    You can do better than 6 months though - there's a full list of 0% purchase cards on the stoozing site (http://www.stoozing.com/purchases.php) sponsored and supported by MSE.
