    Great

    Basically, Im looking to spend a bit of money on a credit card and when the bill comes I want to spread my repayments out over the lifetime of the card.

    Eg, for ease of numbers. I want to spend £1000 and pay it off over say 18 months....£55.55/month...on a credit card that is offering 0% interest for 18 months.

    Then, my understanding is that if i didnt pay the full balance within that 18 month period, id be liable for interest charges at whatever the APR is stated as.

    Is my understanding here correct? or will I have additional financial penalties for spreading my repayments over 18 months?

    You're correct. You need to make at least the minimum monthly payments each month. Anything left at the end of the period will attract interest at the 'go-to' rate.

    No other fees unless you miss payments, go overlimit, etc.

    Thankyou! is the aforementioned applicable to the Barclaycard one at 27 months on the link you provided.

    Yes. The aforementioned is applicable to basically any credit card. Obviously if the credit card has a 0% rate then you won't pay anything other than your monthly repayments. I'd suggest you set it via direct debit so you don't forget.
  • The bank will give the credit card with out interest.The income of the bank is only interest.:j
