    i don't think there is any good reason unless you really need to purchase something.
    I wouldn't go spending for the sake of it purely because you have a 0% rate.

    What happens if you're new card doesn't give you the same credit limit once you've maxed out your old one? You would also have to consider the balance transfer fee that the new card will charge, so some space will be required for that.
