What to pay off first?

Hi all,

I sold some things on ebay and now have £400 to be able to pay to a CC.
What one should I pay first? They are both 0% although I cant remember when until.
One has a balance of roughly £1900 and the other £900. Does it matter what one gets paid first?

Thanks

    Get all the information, such as when the offer ends, and what the interest rate goes up to

    TBH id pay off the card with the 400 straight away, as the temptation isnt there, and interest on 400 wont be that great, peace of mind is sometimes worth a couple more quid.

    Just read your sig, how bout putting it in your matched betting account and seeing if you can build up some money quicker?

    (Be careful with this tho, no mistakes lol)
  • the account ive got it in pays interest annually on the 1st oct :-(
    not sure what to do re: matched betting...anyone have any sites thats offering matched bonuses?

    I would agree with Kevicho - pay someting with the money. If you are anything like me it would burn a hole in my bank account! I have just paid off £2500 off a 0% card but i wouldn't even consider leaving it to gather interst as I would dip into it!!!
