If you have a favorite goto card then the 22.99% could be used to help UTIL.   So it's somewhat useful.


Yep... it is kind of a cool figure and will remind me of my spree...lol.. in the meantime I kind of love that number and for a PIF strategy I could't care less about APR.  At the beginning  it made me feel horrible to get the worst terms but in the meantime it makes me smile Smiley Happy --just gotta love Chase for doube pulls and horrible APR Smiley Happy

I've generally exempted Chase because I'm superstitious paranoid.  Strangely enough, my souvenir from Chase was a 13.99% APR.

I'll take a 50% APR with high CL anytime.  I'm happy to PIF for a pair of socks every few months.

LOL... are you ever concerned with increasing overall approval of available TLs >$50K in one shot and any of your current lenders taking AA on your current accounts? (i.e. they perform standard/monthly AR and see that you've increased the # of TLs by two-fold and high CLs).


The cards I use for bonus rewards generally don't stay open for long, particularly Citi HHonors cards.  Churn & burn!  


Word has it on the street (or web), that they be cracking down on the burn and churn.  Just sayin'.


Haven't head about this. Did something happen since they made their changes over a year ago?

That's because it isn't happening.  With Citi it still holds true if you are approved, you also get the bonus - simple as that.

It's more of a paranoia propaganda.
