post office card

I've just got a post office card but it charges 2.5% bt fees, and is 0% for 8 months. I do see how I can make money stoozing on this, not after tax on the interest. Can anybody see how I can do it? I should have just refused the card!

, or
2. Slow-stooz it for 3 months, and then keep it for your overseas spending (unless you already have Nationwide?)
It's had a 2.5% BT fee since last October 2nd...why did you apply for it?I should have just refused the card!
