0% balance transfer with high util

Hi folks,

 

               I am looking for a balance transfer deal on a 10K or so balance. I searched online and PENFED has some good 18 month promotions but I am not sure if I would qualify for it. Below is my profile, can you suggest some other 0% offers for BT with generous CLs?

your inputs are much appreciated Smiley Happy

 

My Profile:

AAoA: 3.2 years

EQ: 655 (as of today), EX: 664 (Jan 27, through AMEX)

INQ: EQ=0, TU=0, EX=2

Util: 90% (Will drop down on 70% or so once my Hilton Honors hit CBs with limit of 4500)

Income: 105,000 for 2011 (gave this to Amex), this years income is going to be 120,000.

Employment: Fulltime, Software Engineer with same company for over 5 years now.

1 Auto Loan closed in 2010. 

Currently 1 auto loan running through BMW Finance since Jan 2011.

Never had a single late/missed payment on any of my accounts ever.

 

Do you think I stand a chance with PENFED or any other CU/CCC where recon'ing is a possibility in case of denial?

Ok :-) So I guess PENFED is out of the list.

Re: 0% balance transfer with high util

others have better info than me about them. From what I have read they are a hard nut to crack, but once your in.....YOU ARE IN!  They may like your profile better than mine as I do have some old paid baddies.

Re: 0% balance transfer with high util

Thanks for thr assurance.

I can try to bite the bullet, wondering if someone has any other suggestion for BT. Barclays released a first 25 month BT offers in UK.. wish they could come up with something like that here.

Re: 0% balance transfer with high util

on the barclay's it ask what country your in on app so you still may be able to apply

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

It's country of nationality. I dont think it has anything to do with what country you want your card in.

 

It's like I am living in London and applying for this card.

Re: 0% balance transfer with high util

I was actually looking at BMW's but my wife gave me the death stare, for her whole family is employeed with Mercedes in Stuttgart. So as long as I am in Germany I am forbiden to purchase anything else then a Mercedes or I will have to face the wrath of the Swabish.
