0%credit card?

Hey, I’m wanting to get a credit card and consolidate my dept, I have two cards that I can do a balance transfer but I also have an over draft so to be able to get 0% do I need to get two different credit cards? 0% balance transfer and a 0% purchase?

    To pay off an overdraft you need a 0% money transfer card, not a purchases card. There will be a fee of maybe 3 or 4% on this one.

    I have moved your query as it doesn't relate to Stoozing
