intrest free ending !!!

    1,000 x 15.9%(per annum) /12 (months ) is about £13.25 per month approximately

    Therefore approx 4-6 weeks before the expiration find yourself another 0% card and BT to it. Applications can sometimes take longer in the run up to Xmas due demand. It will probably cost you £30 approx, but that could be a whole lot less than paying further interest.
    It will all depend on how soon you want to/can pay the £1K back.
