Just be wary of the balance; 15 months feels like a long time, but it's very easy to rack up spending at 0% and then find yourself in a crunch with only a few months left!

Also, not being a premier card, you'll have your foreign transaction fees on every transaction while over there (3% I believe?). That can add up, so just be aware! Hopefully this has been helpful :]
Correct.

I will need to be aware of that transaction fee. The goal is to not need to use it all, only for emergencies.
