No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
It's not a credit card but have you checked with your credit union about a personal loan or whatever they call their consolidation loans? It should reduce the APR%, granted not down to 0% but they might have different underwriting criteria than ELAN. If your goal is to get the credit card balance paid off with less interest, that might be a good option.
@Sk323i have you tried bbvausa pre-qual site? They have a physical location in AZ be a SP against Experian to see if you are pre-qualified for card and give you limit and APR although limit and APR can be a bit off until HP is preformed.

What is BB&T ?
im in Arizona.
what other eligibility requirements should I look up ?
No, not available in AZ.
Do you belong to any credit unions? Both Wells and BofA have balance transfer options. Could help if you have a pre-existing relationship.
My only credit union is Desert Financial and they use ELAN.
im trying avoid ELAN.
I have an address in California - my parents address that I lived at for many year and still receive mail at. should I try to use California address for BB&T.
do Discover or BofA or Wells have Pre-qualification websites that do soft pulls?
i stopped getting offers in the mail - so it seems like no one wants to offer me anything.
seems unusual because my credit score is 690 and my income is high.
I would not attempt the BB&T [Californian address] option if that isn't your current primary residence. Folks who attempted this 'alternate' method to circumvent the pre-qualification tool ended up with verification issues.
Discover has a pre-qualification portal. WF and BoA do not.

I was just about to make this same suggestion... their ClearPoints card is solid, and would be good for the 13 months 0% BT and still useful for the 3% category afterwards.
try DCU
every year from 01/01 - 01/31. 6 months free BT and no fee
