  • What's your credit history like? There are several cards which offer 0% deals and if you can definitely pay back so soon it probably doesn't matter which one.

    If you have no credit history or poor history then you would stand little chance of getting a 0% card.
  • My credit history is ok, just want to use it for a purchase until i can get my money out of a bond in Febuary.

    Perhaps try the Tesco card as you can also collect points. If you are declined be aware that credit searches appear on your credit report and several searches too close together can have a negative impact on your file.

    Also don't forget you'll still have to make minimum payments each month on a 0% card and on time as late payments can lead to withdrawal of the 0% deal.

    If Tesco's doesn't work out you could see if your bank would offer you 0%.
  • By the time you have paid a cash advance fee you might consider an overdraft at your bank?
