Introduction
Firstly, thank you for downloading the 0 APR Credit Card Application software. We’ve had many requests for a User Guide for our popular software, so here it is. The 0 APR Credit Card Application software is a simple software utility that is designed to ensure that its users are able to apply for 0 APR credit cards on a continuous basis, with reminders being sent to you automatically at exactly the right time, just before your credit card’s zero interest period is due to expire so you can quickly transfer your balance to a new card, saving you money. The aim of this powerful combination is to get you interest-free credit for the longest possible time. In some cases this will amount to a lifetime’s interest-free credit. In other cases it may only be a few years. The software has been designed to be as simple as possible to use. For People who don’t like the idea of downloading software there is an equivalent version of the software which can be used online without the need for any downloading. The download page (and online usage page) is at:

The 0 APR Credit Card Application software so far can be used by residents in the United States and United Kingdom only. We are working on expanding this to other countries as well (we’re currently working on one in Canada). The next few pages will take you through the process of downloading and using the 0 APR Credit Card Application software, with illustrations from actual screenshots of the utility. For those users who are fairly computer-savvy we apologise in advance if some of the procedures and descriptions given here sound a bit obvious: I’m not assuming you are a computer expert, just that you want to save money! For that reason this User Guide is written from the point of view of a relative computer novice.

You’ll notice that, at this stage, only the United States and the United Kingdom can be selected as your location. Future versions of the software will accommodate other countries as well, and you may find that the version you have has more selections available. Click on your selection (either the flag or the text link). This will take you to the application page for your respective country of residence. Below is a screenshot of the screen if you live in the U.S. (If you live in the U.K. you should skip to the next page.)

Fill in your name and your regular email address here. Your details will be used to send you an email a few days before the 0 APR period of the credit card comes to an end. When you get this email at that time there will be a link on it that will allow you to transfer your existing balance on this card to a new card, thus allowing you an extended period of interest-free credit. After you have filled in your details click the “Submit” or “Send Details” button immediately below the boxes. After a few seconds you will see the following window over the application screen:

At this point, if you are in the U.K. the process will end, and you will be presented with a “Thank You” screen. But if you are a U.S. resident you will be given a further option.

Applying For A Free Business Credit Card
Figure 8. Business User Option (U.S. only)
If you are self-employed or have a trading name you may want to use this service as it gives you added interest-free credit in the same way as before. If you are not in this position, or you just don’t want additional access to 0 interest credit, just scroll down the screen and you’ll come to a link that says “No thanks, I’m not a business user”. Click on that link and the whole process will end (you’ll arrive at the “Thank You” screen). If you are going to apply for a 0 APR business credit card then click on the “Apply Now” button and you’ll be taken to that card’s website, where you should fill in the online application form in the usual way. The page may take a few seconds to load. Then use the “Back” arrow icon on the top left of the screen to get back to the Business User Option page, and then scroll down the page. Click on the red “Continue” button. You will see a screen similar to the one below.

Now fill in your name and email address in the boxes. Your details will be used to send you an email a few days before the 0 APR period of the credit card comes to an end. When you get this email at that time there will be a link on it that will allow you to transfer your existing balance on this card to a new card, thus allowing you an extended period of interest-free credit. After you have filled in your details click the “Send Details” button immediately below the boxes. You will then be presented with another “Thank You” screen. Important: During testing we have found that clicking on the link to close this window results in some computers freezing up. So to prevent this you should use the “Back” arrow at the top left of the screen to return to the previous screen. Use the scroll bar on the right to scroll down the screen. You will see the rest of the screen displayed with an option to apply for another business card. This is shown on the screenshot below.

You can now select another business card by various criteria. (At this stage you could even change the card category field to any other type of credit card.) Make your selection and the search will proceed. You will be presented with a number of cards to have a look at, together with a full description of the card, its criteria and functions, and any special offers currently available at the time. Select the card(s) of your choice and apply for them in the usual way. In each case you will be taken directly to the credit card’s own website to make the application by filling in the online web form. After applying for the card(s) use the “Back” arrow at the top left to return to this screen. Then scroll down, as before, to see the red “Continue” button. You will now be at the screen to activate your other card(s)’ Alert System service. The screen will look like the one shown below.

Figure 12. Secondary Business Card Alert System
Full instructions are given on-screen. Basically, at this stage you are prompted to fill in the appropriate alert system for the secondary card(s) you have just applied for. Because the period of time for the 0 interest offers will differ from card to card, you have a choice here: 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months and 15 months. Fill in the appropriate boxes as before and then use the “Back” arrow at the top left of the screen to return to the page after seeing the acknowledgement “Thank You” screen. Click the “Finish” link.
