Absolutely. That's the goal of those offers, to get people using the store credit card with enormous interest, and other terms that make it worse than a credit card issued by a bank (some of which are bad too.)

I wonder if all store credit cards are as unfavorable as the ones that come with these offers. Maybe, but otoh, they have to have a way to make up for the non-interest in the first 6 months.)
