Not that it has ever affected me. I do about 5-10 BTs a year and get CLIs after all debt is PIF. Never had a problem.
Thanks pizza. So would a lender be more apt to grant a new card if you are balance transferring a balance or would it have little to nothing to do with an approval?

Maybe I wasn't clear. Say you have a balance on a Citi card and want to transfer that to a new Chase card. Would Citi be the jealous girlfriend and refuse to give you CLI's because you transferred money away from them?

I have read that Juniper likes to CLD and/or close accounts after BTing from them, but they're moody anyway.Otherwise, I've never heard of any other CCCs having any issues with it.

This is different. They can see a flag when you BT then after apply so I would not apply for new credit until balances are PIF. I have been denied for BT and then apping.
UPDATED. I might have misunderstood. Do you mean applying with a BT. No affect on being approved, however it can affect a larger CL.
