* Called Discover at 1-800-347-2683 and applied for Discover More Card.
0% for Life BT still exists. Phone only.

If you have one Discover card you still can apply for another. Please post once you have verified the offer.

Please post initial balance limit:

This has been posted before (probably buried in some other thread). It might be worth it on a huge balance transfer and buy two packs of gum per month but sooner or later the new purchases intrest starts to add up.

When I called Discover for another reason, they tried to push this, so if you want to call (1-800-DISCOVER) I am sure the reps will be happy to talk about the offer with you.

2 charges of .01.

Wouldn't that make .02 purchase balance accruing 16.99% (or whatever the APR is)? Which is next to nothing

mshen,

Maybe they are. The article even states that the two purchases with Discover has no minimum.

You cannot fund your PayPal account from a credit card, so how to do it ?

Not fund your account, but pay your account. Or your friend's account for that matter. Or heck, someone random.

Just make sure I have a 0 balance and non-Premier account, put my own account email address as destination, and pay with a credit card ?

Pay a Premier account holder randomly and they get charged 0.30 for a 0.01 payment. Gonna piss someone off LOL

Any random account holder can deny or reject your payment. Better yet, buy one of those "Free electronics for $1" info scam books off eBay. The seller would be happy to collect fifty cents.

Hmmm... so basically, with this deal, you could buy some ibonds with a different credit card, transfer the balance, and never pay interest on the card for the life of the balance?

As a result get 4.66% yield on the credit card companies money?

Heehee... This is a sweet deal!

not going to buy savings bonds after this year with a CC.

unless you use this method:

1. get your CC1 to do a BT direcly into your checking account... Chase did this for me.
2. pay for the bonds out of your checking
3. do a BT from CC1 to CC2 with free lifetime BT.

there ya go. just don't forget to make your minimum payments.

you got way too much time. i hope you don't live in a state like NJ where self service is illegal and the attendant must pump the gas for you.
