I mainly use CC 0% offers\balence transfers just before buying\planing a major purchase like a holiday & using the 6 months to pay it off with ease (usually within 4 months), occassionally I have to BT to a new card 0% deal with the remainder.
Actual CC spend per month is minimal. ![]()

I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

And I actually found them almost too willing to give me a card. It made me wonder what the crack was...
My guess is that the crack will come if you ever fall into arrears - interest rates will soar and lots of charges will be applied. So long as you make at least minimum payments on time shouldn't be a problem though.

Sigh....
How is he passing it off as fact? He made a statement based on his beliefs. Is everyone supposed to put 'in my opinion' after everything they write? Isn't that a bit redundant? Surely if someone writes something then it's fairly obvious that it is their opinion. Now if he'd actually written 'this is a fact' you might have a point...
