Agree and I'm asking even if I don't need it. Smiley Very Happy


I would but I don't want to be in that 6 month period when you can't ask for another one and actually need it. I have SavorOne, Cash Magnet, BCP, Disco Miles, and Citi R+ all with 0% right now and the R+ doesn't end until 12/2020. 

I will be asking them for a permanent APR reduction on 12/26 though. Smiley Wink


Are they known to do this?  I figured I'd just be applying for a new Discover card every year until I get a rate I like Smiley Tongue











Desired BK recovery line up complete 7/12/2021. Planning to garden until 8/2023 and potentially try for AMEX.

@Anonymous for the sake of datapoints, could you give us a bit more info, maybe edit it into your original post?

 

What was your EX score at time of asking?

How old is your card?

What was your utilization when asking?

What was your utilization on your other accounts?

Any baddies?

 

Thanks.

I've had the card for 15 months

Utilization is 9%

Discover utilization is at 25%

No collections and 1 auto loan charge off from TD bank that is set to fall off anyday now.

You can ask the day after your 0% expires and every 6 months after that. They dropped me I think 4.75% from 22.99% to 18.24% when I asked them in June.
