Re: Did I make a smart move?

If you didnt get the card that you actually wanted, wouldnt it still be a waste of HP?

Re: Did I make a smart move?

I would be concerned it would push future approvals further out.  Especially for a card that you had to transfer limits in order to get. Its more of a shuffle than an approval, with an AAOA ding. It reminds me of when people do the shopping cart trick just for the sake of getting an approval.  Except this wont even help utilization. Didnt the Barclay card you got have an introductory 0% on balance transfers?
