Quoted from Mitch:Within a year? That's a lot of wasted money going towards interest especially as most cards are 19%
Depending on your credit score/accounts, you can get all sorts of great deals on Credit cards. I just got an offer for 1 year ( 13 months actually ) at 0% and 1% of purchase. I can take $10,000 for a year of interest free financing and it costs me $100 in total. I cant see a reason why this ISN'T a good idea.
EDIT: Plus they transfer the money directly to my checking account, so no 4% credit card fees when buying.
