CCCs that will extend 0% upon request?

I'm looking to put a $10k or so purchase or so on a CC this Spring (new roof for the house) and would like to know if there are any CCCs that are good about extending a 0% offer upon request?  I have the cash to pay for it outright, but would rather put it on a CC at 0% for at least 6 months or 12 months ideally.  I'm talking about requesting 0% from an existing CCC, not applying for a new card BTW.  Are there CCCs that if you're a current customer are open to throwing you 0% for a while?  Thanks for any feedback here, forum.

Are BTs not an option?

Discover has been known to offer 0% on purchases to existing cardholders.

 

as simplyNoir mentioned.

 

another possible option is a balance transfer. You would likely have to pay the BT fee unless it’s a new card.

Discover has offered me 12 months 0% interest every time I’ve asked them for an APR reduction on one of my IT cards...

Yeah the Disco 0% is offered every 18 months apparently (6 months between 12 month 0% offers).

Keep in mind that your roofer might want to add the credit card interchange fee to the cost.

Sounds like Discover may be the way to go, so maybe I'll reach out to them.  I've got a > $40k limit on that card, so rolling with 20-something percent utilization for a while won't be terrible.

Discover does offer 0%, but depending on the sophistication of the roofer, is Discover accepted there?

If not, the Discover also has the no-fee 4.99% APR option to carry.

I don’t think many (any) other cards offer those 0% terms on purchases to existing customers.

The only lender I've heard of doing this on request is, as mentioned, Discover. Otherwise you'd be looking at a new app and/or BT.

I seem to recall Citibank offering me 0% on purchase for 12 months at one point. They usually offer BT offers but I usually PIF unless I have 0%APR and I recall taking advantage of this offer.
