I dont know how credit cards work.
If I make a large purchase and pay it off over 3 months (worth the interest IMO) will that effect my credit score negatively at all?

Credit score is calculated by utilization, overall negatives, accounts open, accounts applied for, and average age of accounts.
If you have a $2500 credit limit and buy something worth $2000 and take 3 months to pay it off your score will go down a fair amount as your utilization is 80% when the balance first hits.

Utilization isnt going to be more than 30% its just Ive never not paid my bill in full, Im not sure if that will negatively impact me

Buy everything directly, only use credit if it's an emergency.

Mediocre advice.

Sustaining a utilization between 1-29% is beneficial for your score in the long run but paying interest isn't.

yes I get that. The question in the OP is will it hurt my score.
I have limit of $10k. I make a $3000 purchase.
Pay $1k (+interest) each month for three months.
Will it HURT my score?

In the short term it's highly unlikely.
