In the crowded UK credit card market, most products specialise — you either get 0% on purchases or a strong balance transfer offer, but rarely both. That’s where the Barclaycard Platinum All-Rounder Visa stands out.
With up to 24 months 0% interest on purchases and up to 24 months on balance transfers, it’s built for users who want to consolidate debt and spend interest-free — all under one account.
✅ Key Features at a Glance
0% interest on purchases for up to 24 months
0% on balance transfers for up to 24 months (1.99% fee applies, minimum £5)
No annual fee
Manage everything via the Barclaycard app
Real-time spending alerts and flexible repayments
This all-rounder product is particularly useful for people who want debt flexibility with no ongoing card fee — ideal for budgeting big purchases or spreading the cost of past debts.
💸 Example Scenario: How It Works
Let’s say you:
Transfer £2,000 from another credit card
Spend £500 on new home appliances
➡️ With Barclaycard Platinum, you can repay both interest-free for up to 24 months, as long as minimum payments are made.
➡️ You’ll pay a £39.80 fee (1.99% of £2,000) — significantly lower than the cost of interest on standard APR cards.
📌 Just make sure to complete the transfer within 60 days of account opening to qualify.
