tesco card question

after reading about loans on the site, I went for a tesco credit card and I got 22 months at 0% for a credit of £3400.
does that mean I can go to homebase for example and spend the full amount on a new bathroom and then pay back over 22 months without paying interest?

thanks

    Yes. You need to pay at least the minimum each month, 1% of the outstanding balance, which can be set up by direct debit and can leave the rest until nearer to the end of offer.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Highly recommend setting up a direct debit to make your minimum monthly payments. You can do this before you've even bought anything with the card.
