0% on purchases

I've been offered an interest free period on purchases on one of my c cards. If I made a payment on my other c card with it would it be classed as a purchase? Just wondered if it could be used to transfer some of my balance. Thanks

    No, the credit card companies won't allow this, it would be classed as a Balance Transfer.

    You need to ask them if they will extend the 0% promotion to Balance Transfers aswell.

    Almost all 0% offers are for purchases only.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. There are loads of 0% Balance Transfer deals out there, although they usually involve a fee.
