  • It was the Tescos Clubcard Credit Card. I've been looking at all of the ones advertised on this site. I did some secondary research on moneysupermarket.com and seen some small print about the 51 days so then called to confirm.

    All I want to be certain of is that if I take a credit card, say for example, with an advertised interest free period of 14 months on new purchases, that I have 14 months to pay the balance off before the extortionate interest rates come into play.

    I thought it was all pretty clear and straight forward until I came upon that small print. I just don't want to get myself into a worser situation that I was to begin with!

    Thanks so much for all of your help with this guys!!!

    You will still have to pay the minimum payment every month during the 14 month period.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
