i was just approved after three days any one have more then one card with umb?
I've read that some folks do. Seems like they had to space them out. I just got this one too, the one w/3 dogs on it. Nice bt offer, but I decided to pass because of todays climate. No need to call attention to oneself.

What attention? The card does not report to the credit bureaus.

I'm aware of that. I was talking about UMB. I've read too many cases of folks getting an invite for a bt, doing a bt, then getting aa. I'm laying low to protect what I have.

Oh, I see. Perhaps, they are calmer if you have had the card for a while before you do a bt. If you can't even do a bt without aa then, it will somehow beat some of the purpose of this card.

There may be no problems with doing it. Time will tell, we'll read the reports. I decided instead of bt to take advantage of the 0% apr. About the time it runs out I have some extra money scheduled to come in, so I'm doing a gradual bt. Works for me anyway.

What is UMB? What is the benefit of getting the card if it doesnt report?
So if the fico monster doesn't know about it it can't be good? The most common reason mentioned is to hide a bt. I'm going to rack up a balance (0% apr) all hidden, not just from fico, but other card companies. Other cc's computers seeing me slowly rack up a balance may wonder.This way they can't see it. Also, for me, a new card does not appear on my report. I do not need that right now.
