Comments on: Credit Cards with 0% Purchase Offers http://www.cleverdude.com/content/credit-cards-with-0-purchase-offers/ Family, Marriage, Finances & Life Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:09:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Danielle http://www.cleverdude.com/content/credit-cards-with-0-purchase-offers/comment-page-1/#comment-24201 Danielle Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:16:21 +0000 http://www.cleverdude.com/?p=832#comment-24201 I never put 2 and 2 together to realize that one of the reasons that credit card transfer maximums have gone away on a couple of cards is because of those people who use credit cards to make money! Good insight, but now it makes me slightly annoyed at those people that do that when I am just using the 0% offer to increase the impact of my debt payments on my overall balance! I am still mostly pissed at the companies though and I have 2 cards that operate that way right now. As soon as they are paid off they are either going to sit there idle to keep my credit score high, or get closed. I think other people should do the same before other credit card companies decide that this is the status quo and they follow along. When I recently applied for a 0% offer for 12 months from Chase Platinum that was one of my deciding factors and a balance transfer many months ago to a Discover card was also based on this fact.

Rather, Spam Karma grabbed it back out for some reason. It's been snatching comments all over my site today, so I think I need to change the settings. I've been pondering a response to the comment, and I think I'll respond with a full post instead since I want to be sure all of my readers see it. @jiggypete, it wasn’t deleted.

It does appear that you are pushing the idea of credit more and more lately, and advertising it. I see the previous comment about the site being an advertisement for credit has been deleted.
