Cap One just sent me two blue checks (and two reds). Of course they do this weekly, but this week the blue checks have a 0% BT for the life of the transfer w/ their standard 50 fee.
Not bad!!!
That's an outstanding offer!
I haven't received a life of the transfer offer in a long time!
I swear I have no idea why CapOne likes me. Card turned 1 in Jan. Started at 3k, now sits at 5250. APR is 10.4 (or 10.14 -- can't remember).
I've paid 1 BT fee, 2 AFs (19 each) and about a dollar in finance charges.
I have one CapOne that is about at the end of the first year 0% interest on BT and purchases. It does not state what rate is after that but if it is 2 digit, then it gets PIFed.
Other CapOne is about at end of 1 year 0%, 3% fee deal then goes to 5.99%.
I think both are reasonable and am pleased with Capital One.
Soo... if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I rec'd a letter from Cap1 yesterday that the blue checks I recently received contained an error and are now invalid. According to them they should have said, "Zero APR for 6 months, then your regular purchase APR". I was really irked, as I was planning on going to the bank today to deposit one of the blue checks.
Cap1 -- you're skating on thin ice.
They did mention that I should call if I've already used the check (sadly, no) or destroy the unused checks. What a bunch of jerks.

It kinda had to be. In this economic climate, a bank who just reported a default rate near 10% is not going to hand out potential multi-year loans at 0%.
Unfortunately ...
