New CC for non-UK resident

I am a UK citizen but currently live in France. I would like to make a purchase of around £1500 from a UK supplier.

I have a long standing bank account and credit card in the UK both of which are registered to my home in France.

Would it be possible for me to obtain a new CC with 0% on purchases from a UK company?

What are the chances of success if I call my existing UK CC company and asking for a lower (0% preferably) rate for a fixed period?

    Hi,
    You won't get a new card if you are not resident in the UK. Your best bet is to call your existing card and ask them what they can offer. I very much doubt you will get 0% on purchases though.
