Didn't we just talk about this very same thing in another thread? oh wait that was to apply for another Orchard card... okay...

When you say transfer your 1st premier to Chase but not for 6 months... How much do you owe and at what interest rate and why would you wait 6 months? Isn't 1st premier a fee each month to have the card?

Further more I assume your Best Buy MC has annual fee also, I would close those 2 before Capital One

Just IMO but I don't think it's wise to BT a rebuilder card balance to chase. Considering it is just $350, pay it off with cash then close!

Re: plan of attack...

I agree do not transfer $350 to a new $500 chase.

 

Why pay fees to move such a small balance?

Re: plan of attack...

It makes you look suspicious and risky BT'ing a FP balance to a Chase card. I wouldn't do it.
