Hello. I am looking at adding a few more cards with low or 0% interest balance transfer options to consolidate the rest of my cards. I received the Citi Custom Cash card about a month ago with a $12,000 sl and have utilized about half of that limit on transfers. This paid 3 cards down to a $0 balance. One of those cards was at a 46% utilization. The other 2 about 16%. Now my question, should I wait for all 3 of those accounts to reflect a $0 balance on my credit report before applying for the other cards? I'm thinking maybe my credit score will increase a bit with those 3 accounts showing paid off. I'm currently at about a 730-736 fico 8 depending on the bureau. I was looking at applying for a Bank of America card and maybe a second Navy Fed card. I've had my current Navy Fed card a little over a year and have received 2 credit increases in that time. Any advice would be appreciated.
My guess is that you'd be ok without waiting, but since it's only a few weeks, I'd wait anyway. How far out are you statement closing dates on those accounts?
