Wanna Clear Credit Card in 12 Months

Hello All

I am think of swapping credit card balance (i.e mbna & barclaycard) and having everything in one credit card because of 0% till Oct 2014.

I took my credit card without any proper plan or in other words i was eligible so took it. In short now i am committing to be free from credit within 12 months.

Please help me to plan and how to play with promotional offer of 0%

Cheers,

:)
