    <title>topic Discover- Personal Loan and Balance Transfer Offers in Credit Cards</title>
    <link>https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Discover-Personal-Loan-and-Balance-Transfer-Offers/m-p/6371428#M1785302</link>
    <description>&lt;P class="lia-align-left"&gt;Discover is offering me two options (I believe I could take both if I wanted). One is a personal loan at 6.99% (36 month term and up to $35k). The second is a balance transfer offer for up to $15k at either 0% interest for 12 months plus a 4% transfer fee, or 6.99% for 15 months and no transfer fee. I &amp;nbsp;now have $15k of CC debt , most at 10.99% (Discover, my credit union credit card, and a BofA card), a couple at 15.99% and one (for roughly $3.5k) at 17.99% (ouch!) . &amp;nbsp; For reference, my FiCO8s are currently all in the 824-836 range - they increased dramatically from the low 800s when I paid down some debt very recently. One thing that's a bit crazy is that last night I applied for a Discover CLI after not having sought an increase in nearly three years, and all they offered me was a $2k increase (to $20,500). Anyway, anyone receive similar offers and accept them?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've used a Discover BT once or twice. Only when another one of my issuers isn't offering one, since the 4% fee is higher than most&lt;/P&gt;</description>
