It's just a branded card VERY pretty much is paid to refer you to Capital One. That card you can use anywhere its just if you use it at VERY there will be a perk of some kind like cash back etc.

Depends on what offer you got. Depends if you have any interest free periods on purchases.

For example I have a credit card that offers 26 months instrest free on all purchases, meaning I can spend what I want on the card within those 26 months and not get charged a penny interest. As long as I meet the minimum repayments each month, but they are small.

So it all comes down to the card you have and what the card offers.

im logged into the actual card now

it says the minimum is 0.00

so surely I can set my own up that I can afford? say £15 a month?

that's an example...

if theyre happy with say £15 if I spent £800 , would that occur no interest or nothing??

Without looking at your paperwork and the documents you got with it, we can't tell you as every persons offers are different.

The minimum is the minimum you have to repay on the balance on the statement since you've not spent anything its 0.

The minimum payment depends on how much you've spent plus the interest rate so if you spent say £100 one month the next month they will say this month your minimum payment must be £X towards the £100 you used.

You don't get a say in the payback rate to balance you must pay the minimum its worth noting paying the minimum normally is just the interest you wont be clearing the balance.

if your limit is £1500 on this card you DO NOT want to cross 40% of the total balance of the card other wise it will have a negative effect on your credit rating

£600 is the total limit you should push that card if I was you I would use it for little things and pay it off each month after 3 months they will up the credit limit to 2-3k allowing you higher usage.

£600 at 34.9% interest rate would work out at something like £53 minimum each month and that won't be clearing off the £600 you would need to pay more than 52 to start clearing.

I'm not a maths guy but that's about right
