I agree with what everyone else has said, but I'd emphasize this point about the Best Buy card. Keep in mind that because the 0% offer is "expiring" doesn't necessarily mean you haven't been accruing interest. For most offers like this, they've been accumulating the interest since you bought the item. If you pay it off before the 0% expires, they eat the cost. If it's not paid in full when the 0% expires, you get hit with all the interest that's been accrued since the purchase.
I'd check to see if this is what they're doing. If so, be sure to get that paid off before they tack on another couple hundred dollars in interest.
