Citi Double Cash on 10/14 and Amex BCE on 12/14. $200/22.99% and $250/12.99% respectively and $1000 spend in three months. I think both are 15 months 0%.

Wow, really nice bonuses. Did you get the free year of Amazon Prime with the BCE? I really hope it's a better bonus in the summer than the current 100 dollars when I plan to app Smiley Tongue

If you're an Amex cardmember, you can call when the promos run and say you misplaced your mail offer.  More often than not, if you get the right CSR, they'll just take the app over the phone and input the code for the 100K/30K or whatever current promo is running.  

 

Good luck!

Once I prune the PRG (If no retention bonus is offered), I'm going to look into this further.
