Question on Balance Transfer to Nationwide Credit card

Options
Hi there,

I am reading Martin's article "Best Balance Transfers: Cut existing credit card debt costs", which says that NEVER use a credit card for purchase if you transfered balance to it. But recently I got a Nationwide Credit card that says it has different Order of Payments: pay off your most expensive debt first. Does it mean that Martin's suggestion doesn't apply to NW credit card and I can use it for purchase even if I already transferred balance?

Many thanks!

  • It won't be as bad, as you won't get left with a balance on which you're paying interest. However, I think you'll end up paying some interest, as you're not paying off the balance in full each month. I'd try and use another card for spending if you can.
