Default bank of america CC offer i recieved

1.9% APY on everything including cash advances till June of 08

this is free money and i should take this, no? i read the terms and don't see any catches(assuming no payments are late). that being said, i figured i would check before just getting another line of credit that i probably wont use.

i can assume risks and would probably put this in the market over that time period.

Make sure you don't use 100% of the credit and make the monthly payments [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think 80% is the suggested limit to use. You can transfer credit from other cards onto the new one, most likely, to increase the amount of $$ you can invest.

i'm pretty sure sublime isn't a moron, which means he doesn't have (high interest) credit card debt to transfer

I'm not talking about the current ratio or the total of all his cards.

Make sure you look at fees associated with this. If you are doing a balance transfer some BofA accounts have terms such that there is a 3% fee with no ceiling on the amount. Others have a $75 max.

For the past 6 months I have been charging everything I can to an AMEX blue with 12 months 0% interest on purchases. Free money is good.
