0% on purchases credit cards

ktwigger

Hi..
I want to get a new credit card which gives me a decent length of time for 0% on all new purchases. I've been to the credit card page but I'm confused by MBNA card...'This MBNA card offers up to 26 months 0% on spending, though you need to make purchases within 60 days for them to be interest-free.'...are only the purchases made within 60 days interest free...or are the purchases for the whole 26 mths interest free?
Any help will be greatly received!
Kind regards

anything you purchase in the first 60 days you can pay over 26 months without interest
purchase something after that and it will incur interest.
Probably useful for a large purchase that you want to spread the cost on.

You answered your own question in what you posted...

Only purchases made in the first 60 days are 0%

Yes only purchases made within the first 60 days are at 0% which is why I would never recommend this card as a purchases card.

Although it's perfectly fine if you know your expenditures are going to be pretty much up-front and not at a later date
