I've been following James Hasty's 5.0 AOR below and am almost ready to do mine.

http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/finance/1202903/?start=0

I currently have 3 Citi Cards, 2 BOA, 2 Discover, 2 AMEX, 1 Chase, 1 US Bank, 1 HSBC, 1 Associated etc., with a total of $120 K Credit Limit.

I plan to apply for the following cards:

BOA Rewards with $100 Cash Back for $500
Chase Freedom with $100 Cash Back for $500
Citi Diamond
Alliant
Priceline
Penfed Promise

I'm trying to avoid Discover & Capital One. I was never lucky with Cap One before and hence not inclined to apply based on reviews from JH thread.

Are you planning to apply for sign up bonuses or you are doing something like JH?


Yea. This AOR seems a little convoluted. I dont think you'll be able to take advantage of the 0% if you hit the spending requirement for the signup bonuses on the freedom and boa cards?


Why not? Doesn't the new law force them to apply excess payments to the highest APR first?


naas said:   Why not? Doesn't the new law force them to apply excess payments to the highest APR first?
Yes, amount over minimum but you will still get stuck with 1-2 months of interest. Best to do first pay off then do bt. Personally I would go for a few $500+ bonuses (sapphire, ink bold, etc)


My aim is to get 0% BT Offers so that i can pay off my margin account which is being charged at 6.5% and also few Sign Up Bonuses. Both BOA and Freedom Cards has 0% on Purchases and BT, so even though i take BT Offer, i'll still be able to make purchases on those cards and receive the bonus.
Saphire doesn;t have the BT Offer. Isn't Bold for Business? Any idea if the Business Cards application require any income or Business verification currently? I have Citi Business but that was 4 years back. Also any luck if i apply for 2 chase cards?


Just curious, how often can we do AOR? I read in FW repeatedly that 90 days intervals is optimum, what do you guys think?


I was pretty successful in getting the applications approved this time around. Here are my results:
BOA - Deferred, Approved; Called in got approved for 15K
Chase - Deferred, Approved for 10K
Citi - Instantly Approved for 11.7K
Alliant - Instantly approved over the Phone for 15K, asked Pay Statements
Penfed - Deferred, Instantly approved over the Phone for 12K, asked Pay Statements
Priceline - Instant Approval for 5k, Called in and increased to 15K

Anyone know if Alliant provides the option for BT Check?
