    I'm afraid you need to know which card you have as one has 0% on purchases for 3 months and one for 10 months.

    you only HAVE to pay whatever they say is the minimum monthly payment. (usually 2 or 3 % of the balance)

    But if its the 3 months version then you will pay interest on the purchases.

    Have you also used it for BTs?
