US Bank Shield 24 mo BT 0%? Thoughts?

Are any ppl applying getting and using this card?

 

Curious who their demo is ? That's kind of an encouraging way to accrue debt if big limits with terrible post intro APRs are given......

 

 

Although I did just open an 18 mo BOA BT card. This card is interesting. Any expierncies good or bad with USBank Shield card folks? Like what do we think the min app stats are req'ed? We KNOW BOA dislikes new accounts and recent inquiries, right?

from: https://www.usbank.com/credit-cards.html you can click the 'learn more' buttons on the cards to potentially get a card link to open that has a pre-approval link on it

 

if pre-approved, you are brought to a final submission screen

 

at this point, don't submit right away, call and ask for the limit and APR the computer has for the pre-approval application

it's not 100% assured you'll get that, but if you see a high limit/low apr, I would be fairly confident to submit the app after that

I just picked one up for the 24 month zero percent deal and am putting a large purchase on it. 

Score was over 800, no new credit cards in the last 12 months, starting line is $17k. 

Fico 8 06/01/26: EX 791, EQ 819, TU 808.
Fico 9: EX 812 04/15/25, EQ 804 04/08/25, TU 792 02/15/25.

Zero percent financing is where the devil lives...

24 mos. BT. Sounds like a no-brainer if you are carrying some debt. Otherwise, card seems meh...(And, like many other issuers, US Bank is pushing their travel center. We just booked a trip through booking.com; tried Chase, CapOne, Citi travel centers but they were much higher than pure travel sites.)

Answer is 23 hours and 59 minutes before being locked out.    Smiley LOL

Utilizing a balance transfer card is how I renovated my kitchen, yard and solor( all separate promo offers).   I never understand why homeowners take out a HELOC when it can be done for 0% financing.
