Employer Loan / CC Query

Hey guys,
So I've got a 0% employer travel loan for £2988 being added to my August wage which I'll be paying off in equal parts over 10 months from September.
I've also got a credit card with a £0 balance and £5500 available credit, with 0% purchases for 27 months....
Is it breaching any conditions anywhere to pay the season ticket with the credit card, and put the employer loan in a high interest current account, and pay the minimum payments for 12 months before clearing the debt? Or even paying in to a 6% First Direct regular saver?
I couldn't see anything in the CC T&Cs against this, and the employer agreement simply requires proof of purchasing the season ticket.
Thanks in advance

Can't see any problem with what you are proposing to do.loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.0
