0% interest and the credit crunch

I have just had an offer through the door for 0% interest until July 09

With the credit crunch and wot not are these 0% offers going to disappear its just i dont want to have to pay the 2% handling charge

    I think it depends on how much you owe on the card at the moment to know if its worth that 2% handling charge, im not sure if the deals will stop tbh. or maybe you could ring your current company and tell them that you have been offered a better and longer deal which you think would be good but you would rather stay with them and could they offer you anything? maybe worth a try
