in Credit cards
Hey there,
I am about to make a large purchase (plane ticket) and to do this I need to open a new Credit Card. Now I know what you're thinking... silly idea considering I've only just paid off my old one, however, I will have the 80% of the money to cover the flight by the end of the year, so it's not too bad... and I won't be buying the flight until around then anyway..
so, the question is, should I go for cashback card, 0% on purchases card or a freebies card?
I'm confused! I think the 0% card would be the best, but as I won't be paying the full balance for approx 2 months, will I lose the 0%??? Or do you just have to pay the minimum...?
Help!!!
thanks!

Yes, a 0% for purchases card is the best option.
As long as you keep within the terms & conditions, repay at least the minimum due each month in good time and don't exceed your credit limit, your ticket purchase will be interest free
People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.0 -
wonderful!!! so I'll only have to pay the minimum each month to keep the 0% offer... yay!
thanks moggles!
