    @MeeMawTucker good luck with your decision making. I do think it's a good offer and is almost identical to the one I took in September (3% fee, 0% interest until 1 May 25). In my case I have put the money in an account earning over 6% AER.
  • Just a quick update, I have received the November statement for my BC and the interest charge is zero. I'm going to keep spending and manually pay the last statement purchases total (ignoring the MT value) by the due date. As long as I spend each month at least the expected minimum payment value of the next statement, this will allow me to avoid repaying any of the MT for the duration of the 0% offer, as well as paying zero interest on any of the balance.
