Advice needed on Credit Card!!!

I need to pay for a professional course and I would like to do that by paying for it with a credit card. The amount I need is £1000 and I do not want to pay interest on it (at least not 20%).

If anyone could give me any advice which Credit Card would suit my needs out there it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

    You would need a credit card with a 0% purchase rate. The best at the moment according to Martin are Halifax and HSBC. Both give 0% for 12 months.

    The credit limit will depend on your status and credit score.

    ...or alternatively, a Virgin Money card offering 0% for 15 months (plus 2.98% fee) on transfers of cash to your current account.

    Take what you need for the course, and stooz the rest to recover some/all of the BT fee cost.
  • Thanks a lot to both of you for all your help!
