    Possibly, card companies want to know that you'll be able to make at least the minimum payments once your other outgoing are taken into consideration.

    Have a look at your credit report to see some of the details that the CC companies will see - free trial with Experian for online access, don't forget to cancel the subscription or you'll be charged a monthly fee after your 30 days.

    No problem with having multiple 0% cards if your credit profile is what the card companies are looking for.

    I'm sitting with six 0% BT cards and a 0% purchase card at the moment, so can definitely be done.
