You may also want to see if you prequalify for any Citi cards. They have three cards with 0% for 18 months

I don't see Citi reacting very well to the OP's current balances.

 

The best time to apply is when both aggregate and individual card utilization are at 28.9% or below. Some people get useful approvals when those numbers are at 48.9% or lower.

 

@leo222, if you could list your cards, their limits, and their balances, we could compute your utilization for you. Smiley Happy
