Re: Credit gurus, need suggestion for DW's BT.

I've actually looked at the BofA for myself as a future card.  It didn't look bad.

I would second BOA Better Balance Rewards. A Quarterly Bonus for paying over the minimum with a 15 mos.0% BT will cover some of the BT fee. Plus even after you pay it off, minimum use still nets a $25 bonus. Getting a quarterly cash back bonus without spending anything extra is a no-brainer. BOA seems to give decent Credit Limits too.

Current Scores (09/2017): EQ My Fico: 786; TU MyFico: 799; EX (My Fico): 797
