unsure about 0% purchase

Hi there,
I was thinking of getting a 0% purchase card to pay off some of my existing debt e.g. Next Directory account and other catalogues. If I go online and pay off these accounts using my new credit card, will they count as new purchases and qualify for 0% interest?
Thanks :)

    You can do this with Next and this does count as a purchase.
    Don't know about other catalogues, but if they take CC payments it's likely to be the same.
  • Thank you!
    I thought this was the case, but wanted to double check before I went paying off these accounts online. :D
