When I opened my Citi Plat. Select MC a few months ago the offer was 15 months 0% balance transfer and purchases. I have no use for balance transfers but I did take advantage of 0% purchase offer.

 

Citi is really encouraging me to use the balance transfer with emails, snail mail and now they are sending me checks.

 

Does a creditor not know by my credit reports that I don't carry balances?


Of course they do but that won't stop them from encouraging you to hopefully carry balances from month to month at some point in the future.  Smiley Happy

I haven't carried a balance in years, but I still get checks in the mail almost every week.  BOA, Citi and Chase.  I always save the most recent ones "just in case". Smiley Happy

It will be a very cold day when I carry a balance (I learned my lesson many years ago) but if there ever came a daywhen I really needed to transfer a balance they probably will deny for having too many balances! LOL

My offers have been for 12 months or less. 14 months is pretty darn good, tho.


I agree but I've seen posts mentioning a 21 month BT offer from Citi so that's why I was wondering if the 1/2012 expiration was correct.

There are several different 0% BToffers from CITI out there at the moment, one being until 1/1/2012 and other  for 21 months. I received 3 pre-selected offers in a week time frame, went ahead and app'd online for the one until 1/1/12 because the APR tiers were better,  and got instantly approved for $8,700.00.

I just received a BT offer from Citi, 0% until Jan 2012!  Of course there is the 3% BT fee, but even a few years ago when things were good with BT offers I was only seeing 12-18 month offers.  Anyone else get this offer?


 

I also received the same offer, krystofur!
