in Credit cards
Hi All,
I have a HSBC 18 month 0% interest purchase credit card. I am wanting to book a Spanish holiday online and the best deal I can get is to book the hotel direct through the hotels website.
Would that be classed as just a normal purchase ie interest free for 18 months OR because it's a Spanish website and being charged in Euro's it would class it as something else?
I hope my question makes sense, otherwise I apologise in advance!

It will be a purchase, but will also have a non sterling fee if they charge in euro's of 2.99% I think.Life in the slow lane0

Thank you born_again.
So if I go ahead with the booking I'll be charged a booking fee but this is part of the purchase so the interest period still stands?0 -
So long as you have not held the card longer than 18 months.Life in the slow lane0
