What's a good BT card with long term value? I'd like to transfer some high interest (16%) debt to a 0% card. If there is a 0% purchase APR as well that would be great. If I am takign a HP and having to take on an additional card I'd like it to have long term value either through PC or some other form. A goal card of mine is CSP so perhaps a Chase BT card?
Here are my current cards:
NFCU Amex (which has the debt)
Capital One Quicksilver
BankAmericard
Thankson advance for the help.
Amex Every day, fee free, 2.4x MR on grocery.
Depends on the type of reward structure you're looking for. PenFed credit union can be an option. They have the Platinum Rewards and the Power Cash Rewards Visa cards that offer some decent rewards as long as you're not looking for direct transfer to an airline partner or hotel.
They have an ongoing 0%/12m/3% fee balance transfer on just about all of their card with the exception of maybe the PenFed Promise which I believe is 4.99% on BTs with no transfer fee. Their website will say that the BTs are for a limited time but I've been with them for several years and I can't ever think of an instance where they weren't offering the 0%/12m/3% option even when it wasn't advertised.
Just the only option but certainly one to consider if you're looking for a BT card with some sort of benefits/reward structure.

I have a few Chase cards and I can't think of an instance where I've been offered a BT on any of their products. Others have mentioned the Citi DP and I had that card at one point as well. Outside of the inital BT offer I never really received anything else. I eventually PCd it to a Citi Premier.
I still have my useless Simplicity card that can't be PCd. I haven't had an offer on that one either since the initial and I only put a swipe it just to keep it active with hopes of Citi one day allowing it to be PCd or they phase it out and move it to some other worthwhile card.
Freedom Unlimited looks ineresting.. is the 12 month wait a hard and fast rule? I was hoping for the CSP before then. Also, how are their SL usually?
