    Is this the only way to do it? As none of these (unsurprisingly!) are 0%.
    They are 0% interest. Are you referring to the fees payable? If so, they can be as little as 1% (using the M&S card travellers cheque loophole)...or even zero on the Santander Zero card.
    Or can I just overpay the credit card and have them re-imburse when they realise the account is in credit?
    How much are you talking? If a few hundred quid it may be OK. If several £K then you'll hit some problems.
  • I am seeing APRs of 16.7% plus.... The overpayment would be £1,500...

    I am seeing APRs of 16.7% plus....
    They're the 'go to' rates after the 0% period expires. Do you see the numbers under the '0%' column header?...they're the number of months the 0% introductory period runs for.
    The overpayment would be £1,500...
    I wouldn't risk that myself...unless your balance was the same amount and you paid the same amount twice?
  • Brilliant! Thanks very much for all your help!
