Balance Transfer from Amex to Discover

I what to transfer about $350 to my discover and use the 0% APR offer for 12 month that they offer me

 

I what to keep using my Discover It Card (Thay don't accept AMEX everywhere), If I pay my current spending before the stamment cuts I will still get charged with interest?

It's a 3% fee instantly unless you're under an introductory offer.

I know that, but my question is that after the balance transfer, If I use my card and pay it before the statement cuts they will till charge me interest? (Current APR 18.49%)

No i think so long as you pay whatever purchases you made by the due date, you shouldnt be charged interest. If you let those purchases carry over to next month i would then think yes.

How long is it going to take you to payoff $350?  That has to be the lowest BT I have ever seen here.  If you are going to pay it off in two months don't BT it because that would be $10.80 - $8.10 if you pay half next month in interest or less.  The B/T fee will be $10.50 (350x3%).  Seems like you are jumping through a lot of hoops for $350. IMO

Read through your BT offer. Most will state that purchases made after the BT may immediately start to earn interest. Using the card while you have a BT on it may not be the best option
