Hi all!
Need some advice please. The Cap One plat card I got as my credit builder (moved from UK in Sept 12) has arrived at its 12 month mark and therefore interest is being threatened LOL. I'm obviously going to keep the account open, but would like to move over the small $250 balance onto something with no interest. I could pay it off, but I was under the impression it was better to carry a small amount rather than having the balance report as 0 all the time.
Background: I have an AMEX BCE that I just got the 3x CLI on (YAY!) bringing that to 6K, a PNC secured card with a $250 limit that I never use and a Discover IT card with a $2.3K limit. The Amex has a small amt on it as does the Discover. My util is less than 8% across the board. I have about 7 enquiries on my history since I moved over here last September. My Experian score is 711 and my TU is 709. Unsure about Equifax right now, but back in May it was at 708.
So, I'd like to find a card that is good for a balance transfer, but would be really useful if there were some decent travel rewards too (I fly back to the UK a couple of times a year). Suggestions/advice welcomed and most appreciated. You guys on here have been total stars with the advice you've given to date. Thanks!
also, just a quick mention, im going to be looking at financing/leasing a car within the next few months, so trying really hard to do all my research and not get too many hps beforehand!
