I'm Confused???

With the new CC (10k) from FCU, they offered me a year of 0%, no fee BT..I did give them 2 small cards ($650 total) to BT and close, but my confusion is "if I BT other CCs do I have to close those accounts?" I want to keep them open to help my UTI but  hate paying the high interest... 2 CCs at 805 UTI .. Target 1500/2000 and Sears 1400/2000, This is a first for me in all my credit years I have never BTd before....

 

thanks Smiley Happy

Dont be, lol, its ok, i had never bt'd before this year either. We you bt, all you are doing is transferring those limits over to another card to help save interest. 0% bt fee is awesome!. My favorite way to Bt, for example with my Boa BBR or my Ciri DC, i just have the funds transferred to my checking account do i can pay off any csrds i want to bt. Just becare as sometimes bting can get addictive and then really doesnt solve anything lolSmiley Wink

You absolutely do no thave to close them, just literally freeze them in ice in the freezer so you dont touch them again.

Thanks...I really was concerned about it, I was thinking outside the great interest rate if I closed cards I would just be spinning wheels to get UTI below 30% by lowing my avail CLs

 

 

on lighter side...

 

I will employ my army training and self control to keep those bad boys out of my hands....

 

or as my son calls it my "ninja mom on a mission phase"..lol  (ninja mom is his least favorite..lol..but we have goals Smiley Wink )
