I was honestly ready to pay for the item in cash, but if they dangle 0% financing and I know it'll improve my credit for a future mortgage... it's a no brainer. But it's deeply illogical that going into debt for $30k makes people more willing to loan you money.
I had the exact opposite. I needed around €5k because of a cash flow problem. There was no way for me to get the loan from a high street. Basically because I had no debts at all.
