Interest free credit card - advice needed

Hi
I was hoping to soon move house and was thinking of getting a tesco 0% interest credit card to put all those big bills on. The idea was, as I have an offset mortgage, not paying off the card until the end of the year, thereby saving myself all the mortgage interest. Are there any major problems with this , such as would it affect my credit score ?

    Should be fine as long as you keep the account up to date.

    Advice would be to set up a direct debit for the minimum payment when you open the account, and pay the first bill manually anyway. Trust me, you'll save yourself a world of grief :o
