If you have a balance at the end of the month and you don't pay off the whole thing, they won't charge interest, for the next six months. |

It depends on if it is 0% for purchases or transfers. If it is for purchases, it means that as long as you pay the minimum required each month, you will not be charged any interest on your balance for the first 6 months, but then if you don't pay off the full balance you will be charged interest. If it is for transfers, then the same goes, but only for a balance that is transferred from a different card (and there is usually a fee to do that). |

First, if you don't know what it means then you shouldn't have credit cards. You are going to get yourself in a lot of trouble.
But since you asked...that means that if you make payments (not paid in full) on the purchases within the first six months, you will not be charged interest on the money owed.
Now, what is the APR after the 6 months? Is there a cancellation fee?
You should only have a max of 2 credit cards and keep them paid off monthly. Do not get fooled in to making minimum payments. You will end up owing more money that your purchases are worth.
Good luck and be careful. |

Knowledge is good.

They're hoping you'll run up a big balance by the time the 6 months are up so they can jack up the interest rate to 25% and collect big time. |

you pay no interest on purchases made for the first 6 months, but only if the balance is paid in full. IF there is a remaining balance on your account from the 6 month no interest period you will be charged the going interest rate on that balance and future purchases |

It means when you charge more than you should and can't pay it all, they will carry your debt with no interest charge for 6 months, But watch out. They are in business to make money. Always be able to pay your total bill on time and you won't be sorry. |

Whatever you charge to the credit card will be interest free for 6 months(the outstanding balance). |

That means that if you buy something by using your credit card and don't pay it all off, you won't be charged any interest for it for the first 6 months. APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. After the 6 month period, you'll have to pay interest on anything you don't pay off. Your interest rate might be pretty high, though. That's how these credit card companies make money -- from the interest paid by the consumer. |

good day, a 0 % APR for the six mos means you have no interest to pay for that period. There are resources available for your concern and other credit issues you want to know about. I collect good reads, here are resources I suggest..just browse through them, hope they'll be of great help to you too!

You will not be charged an interest rate for the purchases you make during the six month period. After the six months, you will have to pay interest for your payments. Read the fine print to see what your interest rate will be. |

Check to see if the 0% is for balance transfers or purchases. Make sure you make all of your payments on time and stay under the limit or you will lose the promo rate. Definitely read the fine print because some companies require you to make a minimum amount of purchases each month to maintain the 0%. |

You don't have to pay interest on your balance for 6 months, but then after that you will have interest added in if your balance isn't paid off. |

Generally it means that you dont pay interest charges for 6 months-- but it doesn't mean there will be no payment. Just no interest.
Read the fine print though-- sometimes if you dont pay off the stuff that was charged during those 6 months they 'backdate' the interest. |
