Expert review
If you don’t have perfect credit but you want to spread the cost of a large upcoming purchase, this Capital One card could help you.
There’s no annual fee to worry about. However, don’t forget that after the introductory 0% interest period on purchases any outstanding balance will start to accrue interest at the card’s standard rate.

Repayment options
When it comes to repayments, you can make manual repayments online or over the phone (03444 812 812), or alternatively set up a direct debit. A direct debit is a great idea because it protects you from forgetting to make a repayment and either damaging your credit score, getting hit with a penalty fee or losing any promotional rates as a result. You can arrange a direct debit for repayments when you apply for the credit card. The table below shows the options available.
Choose from the following direct debit options for your monthly repayments:
| Minimum amount | Fixed amount | Fixed percentage | Full amount |
|---|---|---|---|

Our team evaluates credit cards to determine their value against similar products on the market.
We look at the how good the card is for its designated purpose – spending abroad, clearing debt, earning air miles etc. – how costly it is to use day-to-day and whether it offers much in the way of extras.
We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you.
