‎03-15-2013 06:29 AM

Sorry for not posting in the last few months as I was gardening. However citi made me come out of gardening yesterday as I got an invitation in the mail

Offer was as follows

- 21 month 0% interest rate
- No late fee
- No annual fee
- After 21 months of 0% interest rate it goes to 11.99%

I took the deal and went online filled out information and got approved for $9000
Current Score: 771 - 11/21/2012/ Amex Pull
Late Payment: 0 / Collections: 0
AAOA: 6.3 Years

"My Scores Yesterday or Last week or even Last month has no value when applying for credit today. The value is not in my score but the information in my credit file. Once the information is good the score will follow"

The only reason I app this card was that it had a low Apr 11.99% after 21 months. It offers nothing else no cash back no mileage nothing which is fine as my Discover and Amex I use for cash back and points.

The mistake I see a lot of ppl here make is not having the right mix of cards. Meaning if you have say 4-5 cards all cash back or points its a little more difficult to get the benefit from these cards because you spending your purchase across too many cards.

The right mix for me is 2 cards Amex and discover to get cash back and points so I can optimize on the benefits and the other cards for low or 0% interest rate
