I had 9 months 0% on this card with a credit balance of £7,500 and did a balance transfer of £5000. With this months statement I got two credit card cheques and would like to know if it is safe to use these for up to £2500 for the remaining four months of 0% without any penalty or interest payments. My thanks in advance for any or all replies received.

    yes it would be 0% but do not go up to your limit. As there is a charge for each cheque you write normally 2.25% of the amount you write it for with A & L, But check your t's and c's to see how much you will be charged. . Leave yourself a little 'buffer' zone of say 250£ so you dont go over your limit and then you wont lose your 0% etc.

    Note aswell: always write the exact date your promo ends on so you don't get hit by any interest.

    HTH.

    It seems people now expect others to run their accounts on here as well.

    Is there anything people don't expect to be done for them on MSE?
