does it count as a new purchase? im specifically looking at the tesco card, and thinking of applying for one. 16 months 0% on purchases.
the finance company say i can pay it off with a card, but if it doesnt class as a purchase, then prob no point.
im looking more and more at campervans, and as i still owe on my octavia, then that would be a barrier to moving quickly if i see one, hence trying to get it cleared.
thanks
i'd say yes.... you're not transfering a balance but depending on what you owe on your car it may work out more expensive in the long run
Shouldn't be an issue, it'll just register as a purchase.
I found he I can use my Tesco CC for stuff paid for via Paypal and it still registers as a purchase to use the 0% period.
thanks chaps. think my working out shows itd be cheaper, just need to make sure i can get it paid off in the 16 months 🙂
owe £3300 with 2 and a half yrs left, finance co say id save £500 paying early. 3% cost of paying by credit card would cost me a ton, so itd save me £400 overall. AS LONG AS I PAY IT OFF!! 😀
thanks
I'd not be too hasty. Check with the credit card company as they may class it as a cash withdrawal (like buying foreign currency) which is unlikely to qualify for the 0% rate.
and there is the rub,, dont pay it off and youd be looking at losing your 400 quid benefit in about 3 months..
tesco looking for 30k pa income on new card holders.. they dont check thou..
If it does count as 0%, just set up an automatic direct debit so you don't need to remember to pay it.
yeah I'll check with tesco first about the purchase thanks. and the dd is a good call, although my main concern is the ability to pay the increased monthly amount rather than forgetting to pay 🙂
thanks
