    Hi, can someone advise me on this please?  If I use my new M&S credit card with 0% on purchases for 24 months to pay off a loan to a bank, does that count as a "purchase" or will this incur interest/fees?
    I am 99% certain it will NOT count as a purchase and WILL incur interest and charges VERY LIKELY to be higher than those charged by a bank.

    It doesn't really matter how they will classify it as it's far more likely the lender won't accept a credit card payment for a loan
