Hello fellow FICOers. Looking for some suggestions - I will try to provide all neccessary DP's, feel free to leave some anecdotal experience if you think it will be helpful.
Any feedback is appreciated, even if you tell me to bug off
Looks like you have most of the major players. My suggestions:
BofA Business Advantage Customized Cash Rewards: $300 SUB and 9, yes 9, months of 0%
or
FNBO Evergreen Business: No SUB, 0% for 12 months
Your other option would be to either cold app for a US Bank Business Platinum for 15 months 0% (no SUB) or close Leverage to free up a space for Platinum should it come to that.
But for the main players, you have already kind of exploited the best ones for both SUB and 0% balance transfer. Have you considered smaller banks? I do not know your geographic location so I won't go into specifics but I mean: TD, PNC, BMO Harris, 5/3 etc etc etc.

I ended up cold apping with USB, got the inq on EX on Monday morning (applied on Saturday night, 5-7 business days notice). Got the approval email this morning but only at $3k SL. I should have called in to close the Leverage because I have $10k on that card that I may have possibly been able to reallocate to new card. I will wait a bit but I think I will look into PNC next since I have already hit up all the major players! Thanks again for the feedback.

@Five6Two Thanks for sharing your update. Have you considered Credit Unions. Many of them have 0% offers that may be a good fit for what you're looking for. I would look into Fairwinds and perhaps NIH.

Hi credit, sorry for the delay. Yes I have looked at the less known banks and think I may give it a go next time round. As hard as it may be
I am trying to limit my apps by spacing them 6-9 months apart. I am in SoCal so a lot of the smaller banks are geofenced for me, but I have seen some success with local credit unions.

@Five6Two I would recommend Elan/Greater Nevada CU and also agree that FNBO Evergreen would be a good fit. You can even test the SL with the prequalify but take with a grain of salt as some have still been denied. With your DP's I think you are a prime canditate for both. Good luck!
Elan/Greater Nevada Credit Union Business Mastercard
0% for first 20 billing cycles on purchases and BT's
FNBO Evergreen Business Visa Card
0% for first 12 billing cycles on purchases and BT's

Wow, awesome, thank you! These are some great finds/suggestions, just bookmarked so that I can queue up my apps early next year.
If you want a "free" no HP, Business card, look at the Citizen's Bank MC - they will issue based on a SP.
All they wanted was biz bank statements and my resale permit as a sole prop.

@Five6Two Great! I hope you find some great Credit Unions that fit what you're looking for.

Wow, that is a great deal! Any idea if this is for the "Everyday Points" or "Platinum" version of the card? Or both?
