What card to choose?

Options
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? :confused:

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.
  • wonderful!!! so I'll only have to pay the minimum each month to keep the 0% offer... yay!
    thanks moggles!
