If I'm reading this right, the only advantage to this card's BT is if you plan to take forever to pay off the little balance you have as most BT offers are only good for 6 months to a year. Does the 6.99% have anything to do with new transactions? If so, I'd gobble this card up.

Sorry to TJ, but this thread has me thinking...would it hurt your FICO more to have 80% util on on card and all other cards at 10%? Or would it be better to have, let's say, 45% util on two cards and the rest below 10 %? Hmmmm.....

Hmmmm.....Yes, one card at 80% will hurt your FICO.You are scored on overall utilization as well as individual utilization.

but, which scenario do you think would be better re: the indiv util perspective...seeing that overall util would stay the same?
