Unless you have no credit or something along those lines. For example, my father can apply for a credit card and almost get instant approval. When I apply for one I have to wait quite a while (days) since I have no credit history.

Mine was instant. I got 6 months interest free with a $1500 instant limit so it was pretty easy to pay off my Mac before I ever had to pay interest.
Luckily I didn't occur any student loan in college and I had no bad marks on my credit at the time.
You should be ok if you have some money and dont have a bad credit history.
Just don't leave a balance and you don't need to worry about those numbers.

Wow, those interest rates are pretty high. 13.74% intro, then jumps to 22.74%. I'd rather save and buy it outright.
Agreed.....

sorry to correct, but isn't 90 days = 3 months? still it's quite a short time to pay off a loan even without interest
