  • 12 Months Interest Free Promotion:
    • You will need your Purple Visa Card to complete the transaction
    • A 12 Month Interest Free Term will automatically be applied to any purchases totalling $250 or more on one Visa transaction when you use your Purple Visa Card, either in-store or online at The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery or Noel Leeming.
  • Long-term Interest Free Finance
    • You don’t need your Purple Visa Card to apply for the Participating Retailer’s advertised Long Term Interest Free Finance offer. (Especially if you’ve just applied for Purple Visa Card and it hasn’t arrived.)
    • Look out for an Interest Free Term (example: 12, 16, 24 or 30 Months) advertised at Participating Retailers. If you have available credit on your Card Account, you can request to have the advertised Interest Free term applied to your purchase (as long as you meet all the criteria). To find out more, visit Interest Free Participating Retailers.

For both offers, minimum monthly repayments are required during the Interest Free Term and the Prevailing Interest Rate will apply to any outstanding balance on the expiry of the Interest Free Term.
