So your credit rating needs to be goodish. This is what I did:
Paid business class flights and airbnb on one cc. Transfered balance showing these purchases to balance transfer interest free cc. Set up a direct debit to pay balance off completely 2 months before 0% interest ceased. Hid card so would not use it inadvertantly.
