I need new cc for approximately 30k BT.
Experian FICO Score 8 = 797
TransUnion = 810
Equifax = 804
Total CL = 98k (CSP 28k, QS 30k)
UTL = 0%
What will be my best bet to get highest possible CL w/ BT 0% intro

If you have 0% utilization what excatly would you be transferring or are you wanting to use BT check for a purchase?
I'll have some business related expenses I'd like pay over time
Another thing to consider is BT fees, which generally range from 3-5% of the amount transferred. You might have to get more than one card to get 30k. Some cards that have zero transfer fee for new accounts are BOA, Chase Slate, Amex ED, and some credit union cards. Note that Amex limits BTs to 5k.

Your best bet (probably only chance to get the limit you need) would be:
- Apply for Chase Slate
- When you receive the card move the bulk of your CSP limit to the Chase
- 14 days after approval do a $15k BT
- 46 days after approval do a second $15k BT
- After BT is paid you can move some of the limit back to CSP
The timing is important because Chase only allows $15k in BTs per 30 days. But you can consider it a ~$900 Sign-up Bonus since there's no BT Fee.
Also, expect your FICO scores to drop down to the 750 range.
BT fee is really not an issue because using QS or CSP I'll get 1-1.5-2% cash back.
Even good business CC won't give me 15 - 18 months 0% APR.
I have only one HP
So, the question is what bank I should start with to get my best chance for high CL (my CSP was approve @19k and increased to 28k 3 months later)?

Spending $30k on QS will net you $450 in rewards. BT fees range from 3% ($900) to 5% ($1,500).
So, following my plan above you'll still save $450 to $1050. To me, that's a pretty significant difference.
Most cards limit BTs to 90% of credit line, so you'll actually need a $33,000+ approval to transfer the entire $30k.
That's extremely unlikely to happen with any new app.

You might be able to get a 30k card, but then you would wind up with 100% utilization, tanking your scores for awhile.
Welcome, @Anonymous.
I like the business card idea. And I like the Chase Slate idea. I think you should get both a business and a personal card.
You haven't mentioned your income, but note that Chase puts a lid on total credit limits when they reach something like 50 or 60% (or so) of one's income.
