Dear all

Hope you are all well.

I have to make a one-off purchase (approx. £1200). I can repay the amount back in October, but need to purchase now.

I know there are a plethora of 0% cards - but which would people recommend?

I have a good credit rating (afaik)so should not be excluded from any.

thanks for your time
