Interest Free Credit Cards Advice

This could be a 56 day interest-free period, an introductory balance transfer interest-free period, an introductory interest-free period on purchases or a mixture of any of these.

If you are looking for a credit card which will give you a substantial amount of time to pay off the balance in full, you would be better off with a credit card offering the longest interest free period. The standard interest-free period is around 56 days.

Another option might be to get a interest free card with a long introductory 0% period on purchases, assuming you have the means to pay the balance before the introductory period ends.

Top Tips for Interest Free Credit Cards

  • If you are looking to get the most from a credit card, you should definitely consider the length of the interest-free period
  • Some credit cards are run by the same parent company. If you have just had an introductory interest free offer on one credit card and then try to get one on another credit card run by the same parent company, you may not get given the interest free offer
  • Interest free periods never apply to any cash withdrawals made with your credit card, so don't take cash out on your card thinking you won't have to pay the high interest on it
