When this period ends, the standard purchase rate will be charged on any remaining balance on your card. If you have some big-ticket purchases to make, a 0% purchase credit card can temporarily keep your interest costs low, which could help you pay off the balance faster.<\/p><div class=\"did-you-know u-bg--sky-subtle u-rounded--lg\" data-component=\"did-you-know\">\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__block\">\n        <h4 class=\"did-you-know__title\">\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-icon\">\n                <svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <circle cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"12\" fill=\"#00B2FF\"><\/circle>\n                    <path d=\"M17.5 22.5C17.5 22.7967 17.412 23.0867 17.2472 23.3334C17.0824 23.58 16.8481 23.7723 16.574 23.8858C16.2999 23.9993 15.9983 24.0291 15.7074 23.9712C15.4164 23.9133 15.1491 23.7704 14.9393 23.5607C14.7296 23.3509 14.5867 23.0836 14.5288 22.7926C14.471 22.5017 14.5007 22.2001 14.6142 21.926C14.7277 21.6519 14.92 21.4176 15.1667 21.2528C15.4133 21.088 15.7033 21 16 21C16.3978 21 16.7794 21.158 17.0607 21.4393C17.342 21.7206 17.5 22.1022 17.5 22.5ZM16 9C13.2425 9 11 11.0188 11 13.5V14C11 14.2652 11.1054 14.5196 11.2929 14.7071C11.4804 14.8946 11.7348 15 12 15C12.2652 15 12.5196 14.8946 12.7071 14.7071C12.8946 14.5196 13 14.2652 13 14V13.5C13 12.125 14.3463 11 16 11C17.6538 11 19 12.125 19 13.5C19 14.875 17.6538 16 16 16C15.7348 16 15.4804 16.1054 15.2929 16.2929C15.1054 16.4804 15 16.7348 15 17V18C15 18.2652 15.1054 18.5196 15.2929 18.7071C15.4804 18.8946 15.7348 19 16 19C16.2652 19 16.5196 18.8946 16.7071 18.7071C16.8946 18.5196 17 18.2652 17 18V17.91C19.28 17.4913 21 15.6725 21 13.5C21 11.0188 18.7575 9 16 9ZM29 16C29 18.5712 28.2376 21.0846 26.8091 23.2224C25.3807 25.3603 23.3503 27.0265 20.9749 28.0104C18.5995 28.9944 15.9856 29.2518 13.4638 28.7502C10.9421 28.2486 8.6257 27.0105 6.80762 25.1924C4.98953 23.3743 3.75141 21.0579 3.2498 18.5362C2.74819 16.0144 3.00563 13.4006 3.98957 11.0251C4.97351 8.64968 6.63975 6.61935 8.77759 5.1909C10.9154 3.76244 13.4288 3 16 3C19.4467 3.00364 22.7512 4.37445 25.1884 6.81163C27.6256 9.24882 28.9964 12.5533 29 16ZM27 16C27 13.8244 26.3549 11.6977 25.1462 9.88873C23.9375 8.07979 22.2195 6.66989 20.2095 5.83733C18.1995 5.00476 15.9878 4.78692 13.854 5.21136C11.7202 5.6358 9.76021 6.68345 8.22183 8.22183C6.68345 9.7602 5.63581 11.7202 5.21137 13.854C4.78693 15.9878 5.00477 18.1995 5.83733 20.2095C6.66989 22.2195 8.07979 23.9375 9.88873 25.1462C11.6977 26.3549 13.8244 27 16 27C18.9164 26.9967 21.7123 25.8367 23.7745 23.7745C25.8367 21.7123 26.9967 18.9164 27 16Z\" fill=\"#232320\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"did-you-know__title-text\">Credit card jargon explained<\/span>\n        <\/h4>\n        <div class=\"did-you-know__content\">\n            <ul><li><strong>APR.<\/strong> The annual percentage rate (APR) is designed to be a benchmark for consumers, providing an annual summary of the cost of your card. As well as the interest, the APR also takes into account any compulsory charges \u2013 like an account fee (if there is one). However, crucially, providers only have to give the advertised APR to 51% of those who take out the credit card \u2013 the other 49% could be offered a different (higher) rate, at the provider\u2019s discretion. That\u2019s why it\u2019s often referred to as the <u>representative<\/u> APR.<\/li><li><strong>0% purchase period.<\/strong> This is the initial amount of time you\u2019ll have to pay off purchases on your card without incurring any interest charges.<\/li><li><strong>Variable rate.<\/strong> A variable rate is the opposite of a fixed rate, and can increase or decrease over time at the lender\u2019s discretion. Typically, variations occur as market conditions generally shift \u2013 for example an increase or decrease in the Bank of England base rate.<\/li><\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How is a 0% purchase credit card different to a regular credit card?<\/h3><p>While a standard credit card typically has an interest rate of between 12% and 25% for purchases, credit cards offering interest-free purchases charge zero interest on all eligible purchases made during the promotional period. If used correctly, a 0% card can save you \u00a3100s in interest and be one of the cheapest ways to borrow money.<\/p><h3 id=\"howtofind\">How to compare 0% purchase credit cards<\/h3><p>Each month, our team of experts analyse all the credit cards currently available and rate the most outstanding card for different categories based on a detailed methodology. If you\u2019re looking for the top 0% purchase credit card right now, you can find it in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/credit-cards\/best-credit-cards\">best credit cards guide<\/a>. It\u2019s good to keep in mind that if you do apply for a top card, your approval will be dependant on factors like your borrowing history and current income.<\/p><p>You can also find a 0% purchase credit card deal that works for you by comparing the following features:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Length of the 0% purchase promotion.<\/strong> Consider how much you\u2019re going to spend, divide it by the number of months in the promotional period, and calculate whether you can repay that much each month to clear the balance before the standard interest rate applies. If not, you might want to apply for a card with a longer promotional period or be prepared to incur interest when the offer ends. Note that sometimes the 0% period only applies to purchases made in the first x days (typically 60 or 90).<\/li><li><strong>Annual fee.<\/strong> Some 0% purchase credit cards (usually ones that offer extra rewards) charge an annual fee. To determine whether this is worth paying, consider how much you\u2019ll save with the 0% interest offer and any other perks to see whether the benefits outweigh the cost.<\/li><li><strong>Standard purchase interest rate.<\/strong> If you\u2019re unable to pay your balance in full by the end of the introductory period, your purchases will begin attracting interest at the standard purchase rate. Depending on the card, this will typically be between 12% and 25%, but can be significantly higher. If you don\u2019t think you can repay the entire balance before the promotion ends, look for a card with a lower ongoing purchase rate. Otherwise, you could enjoy another interest-free period by transferring your debt to a card with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/credit-cards\/balance-transfer-credit-cards\">0% balance transfer<\/a> offer.<\/li><li><strong>Extra benefits.<\/strong> Does the card come with complimentary travel insurance? Do you want to earn rewards points on your purchases? If you\u2019ll be using the card for more than just the 0% offer, comparing these features can help set the cards apart.<\/li><li><strong>Your eligibility.<\/strong> Unfortunately, the 0% purchase cards with the longest offer periods and features are often only available to those with an excellent credit history. Thankfully, you can use an eligibility checker to confirm the types of card you\u2019re likely to be approved for before applying.<\/li><\/ol><div class=\"importantText importantText__quote\">\n  <blockquote>\n    <div class=\"importantText__quoteIcon\"><\/div>\n    <p>Credit card purchases of more than \u00a3100 and up to \u00a330,000 are covered under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.

To take advantage of interest-free days, you usually need to pay off your full balance by the due date on each statement. As long as you meet these conditions, you can enjoy interest-free days on your card.<\/p><p>In comparison, credit cards that offer a promotional 0% interest deal on purchases give you a temporary period when you can make purchases without paying any interest. You only have to make minimum payments during the promotional period. But a standard interest rate will apply to any balance remaining at the end of that period.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"mistakes\">4 common mistakes to avoid<\/h3><p>Want to get the most out of a 0% interest period? Here are 4 things to avoid:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Ignoring the \u201crevert rate\u201d.<\/strong> At the end of the promotional period, the 0% interest rate will revert to the standard purchase rate (which usually sits between 12% and 25%, but can be higher). Consider the standard interest rate before applying for the card so you understand how your debt will grow if you fail to repay your balance before the promotional period ends.<\/li><li><strong>Only making the minimum repayment.<\/strong> You\u2019ll be required to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/credit-cards\/credit-card-minimum-payment\">minimum repayments<\/a>, usually 2% or 3% of the total balance, each statement period. However, if you only match the minimum amount each month, you\u2019ll be unable to repay your entire balance before the 0% offer finishes. If you make more than the minimum repayment, you\u2019ll have a much better chance of repaying your balance before the standard rate applies. If you\u2019re unable to repay your balance before the 0% purchase offer ends, a balance transfer card might be the next step.<\/li><li><strong>Ineligible transactions.<\/strong> The 0% offer only applies to eligible purchases. If you use your card for balance transfers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/credit-cards\/what-is-defined-as-a-cash-advance\">cash advances<\/a> or other cash-equivalent transactions, they\u2019ll usually be charged at the standard rate unless a separate promotional offer applies.<\/li><li><strong>Not taking advantage of the entire offer period.<\/strong> The 0% offer is available as soon as your card is approved, not from when you make your first purchase. So if your card offers 0% for 6 months but you don\u2019t make a purchase or any repayments for the first month, you\u2019ll only have 5 more months to make repayments without incurring interest. If you have a big purchase in mind, make it as soon as possible and start making repayments immediately to get maximum value out of the offer length.<\/li><\/ol><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>The introductory 0% interest periods offered by these cards can be a great way to save money on planned purchases and big-ticket items that you need to buy. When you\u2019re comparing these cards, pay attention to how long the promotional period lasts, what interest rate applies at the end of the promotional period, and what other features and fees the card has, so you can find one that best suits your needs.<\/p><div class=\"text-center has-margin-bottom\"><h3 class=\"has-padding-xsmall\" data-toc=\"false\">Ready to compare 0% credit cards?<\/h3><p><a id=\"standardMasthead__primaryCta\" class=\"luna-button luna-button--success\" data-smooth-scroll=\"true\" href=\"#compare\">Get started<\/a><\/p><\/div><h3 id=\"FAQ\">Frequently asked questions from our users<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\"><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000000\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">When does the 0% purchase promotion start?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\"><p>When the 0% purchase promotion starts depends on your provider.
