I've got a 24 month one. I don't know what you want to know.

Yes, you just need to set up a direct debit to pay it off within the term so you don't get charged all the interest once the term Is up.

Yes, many times over several years. As long as you are disciplined with payments and clear the balance before the 0% finishes they are great and save alot of money not paying interest charges.

They’re pretty good, however you need a bit of a plan, obviously you need to be on 0 balance at the end of the 0% period to avoid paying any interest. I just got 1 for a 5k purchase I am spacing my payments to reach £0 at the end of the term.

Used them lots of times in the past as long as you stick to the plan can be a good way to borrow money. But needs self control. Have bought a car on a 0% card in the past. My kids have paid for their car insurance via one much cheaper than paying the insurance company interest.

They are brilliant.

I am a car dealer, and loads of my customers use 0% credit cards as opposed to paying 9.9% upwards on HP.

Best way to do it!!!

Many times. It was a life saver. I use to swap over when there was about a month left to another zero interest deal. (if I hadn't managed to pay it off).

They've been around for years, fairly normal thing so not really anything to be concerned about other than being sensible with credit.
