You need to ask the plumer and electrician if they accept cards. I do love feathers.lotteblade wrote: »hi can i pay by creidt card for plumer and electrician if so is there a 0% ? and how do i do this?Are you for real? - Glass Half Empty??

It might not help, but it's absolutely right.
It's up to your chosen tradesmen whether they accept cards or not. Many don't accept cards because it costs them too much. You have to ask the plumber.
Some will give you a discount for cash.

Of course it is helpful. We don't know who the plumber or electrician is, or whether they are sole traders or you are using a larger company. Many sole traders will not accept credit cards because of the hassle and charges - so you will have to ask them.lotteblade wrote: »such a helpfuly answer...
As for 0% - if they do accept cards then you need to get a card that is offering 0% on purchases. If they don't then you can still apply for a card that allows 0% transfers to current accounts ("super balance transfer"), transfer the money to your current account and then pay them by cheque, debit card or cash.loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.0 -

I expect a lot of them don't accept cards. I prefer to pay cash to tradesmen. You can often get a discount for doing so.0
