For any given purchase I was actually making, I'd have the former but not the latter, so I don't do it.

I think the only way we bought before was the no interest or payments for a year and we paid it off in plenty of time. So true (for us impatient types, moi!) Save the money up for 90 days and buy it. Another sale will come along, you won't miss the boat, just that particular boat. Very good points!

But otherwise, you do make a very good point about these. Not very many people adequately understand interest rates and charges etc. We use free financing sometimes, but only when we have the money to pay in cash first, and then we just collect the interest during the period.
