Re: 0% balance transfer question
[ QUOTE ]
Not sure if America works the same as Australia in this regard, but over here you have to make sure you don't use the card once it recieves a balance transfer. If you make purchases afterwards they'll begin attracting interest at the full rate, while your repayments pay off the 0% paying balance first. Basically any purchases you make are impossible to pay off until you've paid off the entire balance transfer first.

It's that way here, too, but the card he mentioned has 0% on purchases as well, for the same period. Definitely something to watch for, though. What I do is just keep the cards separate; I have some for balance transfers and some for purchases and don't mix them.
