Credit card advice?

gasheaduk

Hi MSEers.

Just looking for some advice. I've just started a new job which requires me to drive a van from Bristol to South Wales daily most weeks for the next 6 months for training.

Fuel is paid for by fuel card but I need to pay for the Severn Bridge toll myself and claim back via expenses. So, I'm thinking of applying for a credit card (preferably one with a decent 0% interest period, though I have every intention of paying it off as/when my expenses are repaid). Would you say this is a good idea, bad idea or any other suggestions?

Cheers

If you';re paying in full, then anything. Perhaps look at a cashback or rewards card.

Why after a decent 0% interest period if you are going to pay it off in full? Sounds like you want a long period 0% purchase credit card where you will simply pay the minimum and use the money your employer pays you as expenses some where else?!

Just to cover the bases to be honest. If there's a delay in expenses being paid, it won't mean I'd need to take a big chunk from my bank account/savings.
