0% Purchase card needed ASAP.

In a bit of a situation here. So I'm a videographer and I want to purchase a camera for £2K. I'd like to put that on a 0% purchase card and I will be selling £2K worth of old equipment to pay it off.

The issue is I would like to buy it today and collect tomorrow for a few jobs early next week.

I'm with Nationwide but they do not offer a 0% card for existing credit card holders.

Is it possible to get an instant decision on a 0% purchase card and make a payment to it before having the card sent out to me?

Otherwise I will need to put it on my current credit card. Could I transfer the balance to a 0% apr card later on? Or would the transfer fee be expensive?

I assume it will take me up to 2months to sell my old equipment and pay the new camera off.

Thanks for your help!

    You wont get one in time to make the purchase. use your own CC (you will still get over a month without interest) and look for a low fee BT card. Although if you will have sold your gear i would just keep it on that card and look to pay it off, the amount of interest will be pretty negligible.
