Help me find a 0% APR card!

Hi All,

 

I am looking for some advice on which card to apply for to get a 0% APR for at least 6 months, but preferably a year. Rewards, etc doesn't matter. 

 

My background-

BK in 2008

Opened my NFCU CC in June 2013, starting limit 2500 now up to 10000/current bal $1000

Opened Walmart CC in Aug 2013, starting limit 800, now up to 1350/ currently 0 bal

I have 3 Cap One Cards, all around 2 years old. Limits in my sig/currently 255 ba on 1, 0 bal on the others

The Care Credit card is about 3-4 years old, limit 7000/ current bal 1000

Student Loan 17k

 

My TU score is 655 per Walmart this month.

 

Any thoughts on which card I should apply for?

 

Thanks!

Citi Simplicity offers 0% on purchase and BT APR for 18 months.  Just a basic card with no rewards.

Thanks! Are Citi cards hard to get? I have never applied with them. With my BK, just want to be careful about which cards I apply for.

Re: Help me find a 0% APR card!

You can try here to see if you are pre-qualified for a card from Citi:  https://www.accountonline.com/cards/acq/preQualUserInfo.do?screenID=3204

 

There is no guarantee on how they will react to that but you may be able to get a recon with an analyst if you get denied.

Re: Help me find a 0% APR card!

Thanks! I tried the link and they did not have any approvals for me. I may apply and see what happens. Any other suggestions?

Another site to try is cardmatch.com

 

It may be able to match you with various deals.  There are quite a few cards that have 12 or 15 month 0% APR right now.

Discover or Barclays are cards you may qualify for that usually have 0% APR intros for 12-18 months.

I would love a Discover! Both Discover and Barclay denied me earlier this year though Smiley Sad Barclay I understand as they were included in the BK. Had not done business with Discover before though.

Thanks, I tried cardmatch.com and it only showed me more Cap One cards ugh. I wonder if I could get a 4th card with them.
