Otherwise I’m suggesting opening a new card with 0% into APR, transfer, and pay down the principal over the interest free period.
And you can do that…
But in the terms and agreements there’s stuff about abusing it by continuously bouncing it around.
Has been for at least 20 years. They used to not care, but like I just said I believe some do now.
Like cellphones used to have a deal when you brought a line over so people always switched. So cell phones started denying people if they saw the number always bounced.
Credit card companies can see the paper trail. If they wanted to, they could go after people if the same money came back to one of their cards.
And those are usually closer to 30% than 22%, and they can wait till month 11 and charge 30% compound back to when you transfered the money in.
I didn’t want to type all that, so I just said:
And while I have no recent experience I think they’ve started paying attention to balance transfer to keep no interest.
I didn’t realize by paying attention you meant implementing penalization. I follow now. So yes, in that case you’re right. The better option would certainly be a loan.
