I think.....this has to be a joke.

If it's not then i can only think of a couple scenarios where this even begins to make sense...

Your car is already or is about to be repossessed and the bank is demanding full repayment, in the amount of $10,664.

Your auto loan is at such a high interest rate that you will end up paying for it twice just making regular payments, and this $10,664 is the payoff.

Just be honest and Help us help you.

Re: what do you think?

If it makes you feel any better, I suspected a high interest rate before thinking about repossession.

This isnt really the intended use for your credit card unfortunately.

One thing you CAN do which would be almost as good (If you dont feel like refinancing the auto loan), but still kinda dicey, Is to put all your other bills on your newly acquired AMEX cards and make payments at least triple minimum, while allocating more funds towards your auto loan, in effect paying it off early in the long run.

I find this to be the lesser of two evils if all you really want to do is just pay the car off.
Be warned, AMEX tends to be quick to take adverse action if they notice off color spending patterns or you only pay minimums on high balances.

Sounds like it may end up being more of a hassle than you bargain for.

If OP would quit thread jumping to get out of responding to the massive ms/AA stuff he's talking about (what is buying people's high balances?), he would have read that I suggested this in the unlocked thread.

 

Dude (OP), you're driving people crazy with the multi thread approach. On the 12th, you announce these wonderful approvals, now you want to wreck your relationships?  Plus, you needed to dig a little with recon.  Methinks, dn't apply for credit to change the interest rate on your car!
