On a £2300 purchase on my barclaycard at 17.9%?I want to pay it off in two years.

See the example for £1,000 at 17.9% APR on the Barclaycard site...

...where the debt is repaid in 2 years 1 month if you pay £50 per month.
You're borrowing 2.3 times the figure in that example, so you need to pay £115 (2.3 x £50) per month to clear it in the same timescale.
EDIT: Whoops...that example includes the 3 months 0% introductory period, so let's say around £125 per month.0 -
£120 per month for 2 years would pay off the balance.
It'll cost you approximately £400 in interest.
If your credit report is good enough to BT, then you could save that £400. Even if you had a fee of 3.5%, thats only ~£80.0 -
Although 17.9% is not mighty high it's still worth throwing every bit of spare cash You have At it even an extra £5 a week can take 3 months off it and save a few quid in interest.0
