Tesco Credit Card... when to apply?

Does anyone know when the 0% offer on spending expires?

This would be perfect for me buying stuff for my new house but I don't get the house till end of April and so don't want to apply too early.

Anyone any idea?

Thanks so much :)

    It seems to be a permanent offer at the moment but presumably could be withdrawn without notice. I applied about 7 months ago.

    The offer could change at anytime, is there stuff you need to buy before April for your house? If so it might be worth getting it now and just remembering that you need to have it paid off by this time next year :)
  • Hi don't bother applying to Tesco they are absolute a***hol** I applied for this and they put me on a variable rate when I phoned up and complained they said it is what you applied for. I am still waiting from them my credit card application form as I have lost my copy 4 years after I applied great hey!! as soon as I have that I will be reporting them to the Financial Obmusmen for misselling of a credit card. Do yourself a favour and go with Asda instead better shop and better customer service.....:D

    I've had no problems with them - 0% for 12 months plus clubcard vouchers even for non Tesco's spend. I like their online system too - remembers debit card details so making payments via their site is fast. Also get an email acknowledgement.

    I wouldn't panic to get one now. Even if they withdraw the offer, there's always another offer around the corner. Judging by the offers I'm receiving, credit is easing a little.
  • Apply before you move! I got refused by them after moving in august last year, and there's nothing all that bad in my credit report!
