0% APR and 0 BT Fee cards?

After DW got shot down for Chase Slate, we researched more 0/0 CC's. Amex ED: out. Not eligible for SUB, dunno why. Arvest is geo-locked and RBFCU as well. No military affiliation. What other options are out there?

Wow I cannot believe that you missed one of the best banks to do business with, Bank of America.

They have the Bank of America Bankamericard with 15 cycles at 0% with no BT fee if done in 60 days. Also for this bank there is no geo lock other than being living in the United States.

 

Although at first the card looks like it has no rewards that can be corrected later with a product change. Also the way it is structured encourages isolation of the BT from our normal purchases.

Bankamericard, Citi Diamond, and Citi Simplicity are among the best (in my opinion).

 

My original option was the Slate, but since Chase doesn't like my lol/24 status, I don't bother them Smiley Very Happy

Re: 0% APR and 0 BT Fee cards?

@zerofire Oops forgot to include them since don't bank w/ them and they don't seem to like me or DW. Both of us were denied shortly before I found MF and reasons were insufficient reference and limited deposits w/ us. Will probably reapply at some point after we open an acct. We're looking for 0% APR with 0 BT fee specifically in that combination as a stand-in, just in case of emergency. Rather have and not need, than need and not have.

Are you already a Discover/Cap1 Biz cardholder? Discover may do a 0% APR promo if you give them a call. Cap1 biz is offering me a 0% APR BT (2% fee) currently. Can't hurt to try giving any of your other cards a call and seeing if you have any promotions or anything.

Re: 0% APR and 0 BT Fee cards?

Like others have mentioned, give Citi a try. What's good about them is they have a pre-approval link on their website, so you'll know if you even have a chance or not. Discover has one as well. 

I think I've found the sacred map that may lead me to this garden everyone keeps talking about.

Comenitys AKC Visa offers me 0% for a period of time on BTs with 0 transfer fees. You may have to open and have it for awhile before said offers come.
