Balance Transfer & Spending card question

in Credit cards
Hello all
I have a zero percent credit card with Barclays which is coming to an end shortly. I have approx £1,000 which I'd like to put on a balance transfer with another card lender. I've had to take time off work recently due to being unwell but I am returning to work next week. I need a little time to get back on my feet with my finances etc, so I'm looking for the cheapest balance transfer rate.
My question is this (apologies if it's a silly question!) but due to my job, i tend to use my credit card for petrol which i then claim back from my employer at the end of the month (although when it's finally paid into my bank account is another question!). I also use my credit card for deposits for holiday and some goods protection etc.
Is it possible that i can apply for a card that gives me zero percent credit for fixed months, whilst still having a balance transfer on it?. Or would I have to apply for another card for my smaller purchases (petrol, deposits etc)?.
Thank you in advance for your valued advice and apologies for requesting clarification on something which might seem a daft question!.

It's possible to get a card with both purchases and BT promos.
Have a look at the credit card section on this site.0 -
Thank you for your reply, this is what's confusing me, I'm unsure which is which!, but if you could point me in the right direction?, that would be really appreciated.Deleted_User wrote: »It's possible to get a card with both purchases and BT promos.
