Capital One® Platinum Prestige or Discover It

I am looking to get a credit card with a 0% intro rate for around 12-18 months. I need it to pay for something that I know will be paid off within the time frame.

 

Is the capital one platinum prestige a good card? What about Discover It?

 

Anyone have any other suggestions for a good card that has 0% intro for 12-18 months?

 

 

My transunion is 767.

Personally I would choose somebody else other then Capital one .... That is a decent card but a Rewards card is better specially if you don't mind a higher APR% after the 0% intro

 

Discover It - 14-18 months 0% APR offers ( Amazon offers both I think and you get a $75 Amazon gift card if you app through Amazon.com which then sends you to Discover)

Citi Thank you preferred card - 0% APR 12 Months 

Chase Freedom: 15 month 0% APR

American Express BCE, Every day cards :  0% APR for 15 months 

 

 

those are to name a few ...

Re: Capital One® Platinum Prestige Credit Card

Thanks for the suggestions! I started doing a little more research and seeing such horrible reviews for Capital One. I am leaning towards Discover.

 

I just paid off my last credit card. Right now it's showing a 14% utilization rate, but once it updates I will have 0%. 

 

Will my score drop or go up?

the only reason I got a Capital one card is because I like the QS 1.5% cash back ... Just using it for small purchases myself.

 

 

Personally I don't think a credit card is worth having if I am required to contact the EO or Facebook team no matter how nice they are ( their FB team is Nice from my experience) to get anything done like a CLI. 

 

 

There was a post I made where they did send somebody a free Keyboard and not a cheap one either  a Apple keyboard because somebody dropped orange juice on their's and couldn't pay thair bill since the 2 key couldnt work

Could go either way. FICO scores tend to drop if all accounts report 0%. It's best if you can have all of them at 0 and only one card reporting 1-9% of that card's limit.

625 EQ FICO Current Score: 660 DCU EQ FICO/ 645 Scorewatch EQ FICO , EX FICO 664, TU FICO 737 (08/2014)
