Options
Hi

i'm trying to pay for my wedding so we are having a bit of a cash flow issue at the moment - does anyone know which is the best credit card to get with a £5000 limit that i can use for honeymoon that i dont need to pay any interest on and i dont need to pay all the money back within 3 months?

Thanks

    will depend on your credit history, existing debts and salary

    5000 is a high limit to get on a decent 0% purchase card

  • You don't say what experience, if any, you've had with credit cards.

    You don't apply for a specific credit limit; you get what they decide to give you, assuming they accept your application.

    If this is your first card you may struggle to be accepted for one which will give you what you're looking for.

    £5000 will be very hard to get on a 0% card unless your credit history is exemplary and you have very little debt on cards. Oh, and lots and lots of credit card repayment history with zero missed payments ever.

    You'd be better off with a loan from your bank.

    Or a cheaper honeymoon...

    I'm getting married on 28th May and whilst we'd love a honeymoon we can't realistically pay for it without getting into lots of debt. So we're just taking a short break from work, and will save for some winter sun in December as our honeymoon.

    Apparently Wills and Kate are doing something similiar, so delayed honeymoons are very much in vogue!
    Debt free, moved, got new stuff for the new flat - got everything I wanted and need - now just saving.
