Recommendations for a 0% Intro Offer?

I am looking for a new credit card with a 0% intro APR offer, as I am getting ready to move and need to make several large purchases. Here are the current accounts I have, their limits, and their status (in order of age):

 

Regions Student Card: Closed, Opened March 2013

Discover IT: Open, $5200 limit, Opened January 2015

BankAmericard Cash Back: Open, $3500 limit, Opened July 2015

Amazon Store Card: Closed (lost card), Opened February 2016

Amazon Store Card: Open, $3400 limit, Opened February 2016

Chase Freedom: Open, $3500 limit, Opened March 2016

Furniture Marketing Group: Open, $4500 limit, Opened May 2016

Chase Sapphire Preferred: Open, $5000 limit, Opened July 2016 (just downgraded to Sapphire to avoid annual fee)

CarMax Auto Loan: Open, ~$14000 balance, Opened October 2016

Citi Simplicity: Open, $1800 limit, Opened November 2016

Upstart Personal Loan: Open, ~$11000 balance, Opened March 2017 (had some struggles where lost my job and no support from parents, so had to consolidate debt)

AMEX Gold Rewards Premiere: Open, Opened March 2017

AMEX Every Day: Open, $1400 limit, Opened April 2017

 

My total limit is $28,300, average age about 14 months, and utilization is about 2%. My FICO scores range from 680 to 700. I currently make about $105,000 per year. Never been late on any payments or any derogatory marks.

 

I intend to apply for this card around mid-May, so keep that in mind (as I've had several new accounts added this past month).

 

Any advice?

Have you checked any of your newer cards to see if they are still under a 0% on new purchases?

Yes. The Chase Freedom expires in June and the Citi Simplicity hs a balance too low for me to really take advantage of it. I'm trying to keep all the spending to one card.

Diamond preferred comes to mind. Good luck.

What does your eligibility look like for CLI on any of your current cards...?? Maybe the 61 day 3xcli on  the everyday card in June...

I went with the CLI idea and just got my Chase Freedom card bumped up to $7500 (a $4000 increase!). I will be requesting a limit increase with Citi soon and I will do the AMEX everyday card on June 2 (61 days after application). 

 

I was mostly just interested to see which cards were good options if those limit increases were not approved.

Maybe check with Discover and see if they have a 0% offer for you?

Discover REFUSES to raise my credit limit or give me any kind of promotional APR. I have been with them since January of 2015 and never been late or carried a balance higher than 30% utilization.
