[This is about an offer which is no longer available from BC but the card will be held by many members here:]
A small point occurs about the 0% LOB card from Barclaycard. I always assumed that I would pay it off entirely once the standard rate balance (minimum purchases plus rolled up interest) was just equal to the amount of interest generated by the remaining 0% balance.
I will still do this but what I overlooked was that if (and when) you clear the whole balance you won't pay any purchase interest that month - provided you do so by the same 'due date'. Currently Barclaycard advises:
This could be worth a few extra pounds ... a small bonus!
