Thanks!
i have the cap 1, pent fed, cairman amex and wells fargo signature visa card. all, except the pent fed, offer 0%. by far the best in my opinion is the wells fargo signature card. they have never turned it off (despite my never having advised them of my travel plans in advance--and going through africa, eastern europe, etc.) and the customer service is always excellent. they don't convert to airline miles but you can redeem the points for $$ at a very good rate and they pay double points for T&E expenses.
not sure where you are located but you need a relationship with wells fargo and must ask your banker to apply for it for you. if you travel a significant amount overseas, it is worth going out of your way to get this card.
