Re: Suggestions please?

Every time I go on Discover to push the CLI it tells me to call, and every time I call, I get a huge CLI. So, don't be afraid to call. I rarely use the card and they gave me a $5000 CLI (with a hp), but worth it IMO

Mine reads:

So I am not sure that is what you saw when you called in?

I don't think the SallieMae card has a 0% intro apr. They frequently offer a 0% balance transfer, but you still have to pay the balance transfer fee, usually either 3% or 4%.

 


Yes, I believe you are correct. Thanks for pointing that out to me!


Whups, I was wrong. They changed the Sallie Mae offer to have an introductory 12 month 0% APR

 

So my 6 month old Sallie Mae doesn't have it, and my new Sallie Mae does.


Thanks for pointing that out. It does say in the terms and conditions link that it is 12 months at 0%

Ouch. I must have just missed that deal on my first Sallie Mae, since I got it on 9/21/13.

OK, I wasn't sure.  Thanks!  I am going to wait until my CLI from Cap1 and my next payments post. It will drop me to 20% util and I hope help with approval and higher limit. We'll see!

My second one does have a 0% for 12 months. I guess i'll use it to set a high limit, since the card came with a huge $10,000 limit., i wouldn't be able to set much of a high use percentage without the 0% offer. I'll just set it to auto pay the minimum, and wait 2-3 months before paying it off in full.
