Do card companies ever give promo interest rates if you ask?

I'm closing on a house tomorrow so I'm going to need to make some bigger purchases (appliances, furniture, etc). I was thinking about opening a Rooms To Go credit card. I got to thinking.... is it ever a possibility to call Discover or AmEx and ask for an interest free period, and them grant you like a year or two interest free on new purchases? Or am I better off just applying for a Rooms To Go card and being done with it?

Discover. Every 12 months like clockwork I ask for a 0% APR period, and they always give it to me.

I Have Way Too Many of These.

American Express - No CLI or Appreciation Gift in 7 Years

Citibank - Handing Out Credit Limits Like Candy

Chase - Surprisingly, Still Tolerating My Credit-Chasing Ways

Bank of America - My Newest Bae.

Everyone Else.

I did this with Discover in August 2019 and got 0% until next August 2020.  Then I did the same for DH and Disco granted that too until Aug. 2020.  Congrats on the HOME, gl on the Int. rate and have fun on the New Home purchases.
