Yes, per the CC Issuer FAQ.

BTW, please consider adding your data to Bhupathi's stats thread which makes a great reference. Two additional fields to include: # years of active credit, # inquiries BEFORE.


done. I don't have FICO scores, or recent inquiries. thanks.

We reallocated all Chase CLs to the Chase Freedom with the exception of the $12k on the United Biz. For some reason the CSR said this couldn't be reallocated - I'll probably call back and try to work on that one. In the meantime, we've got $49,000 on the Chase Freedom and requested $40,000 BT direct to WAMU debit card, should appear by end of week.

all payments and online accounts are not active. Most of the hard work is done.

Can't reallocate from business to personal credit lines.

I thought that was possible with Chase. oh well.

Chase money BT'd to WAMU debit. It took 6 biz days - a little long, IMO, but it's there now. So I have $17,500 Discover money in HSBC; $40,000 from Chase in WAMU; and $30,000 from Citi in WAMU. It took nearly 6 weeks for the last of the BT money to appear from date of AOR.

OK, question on my Citi BT.

I have $30k in BT out, at 0% for 12 months. I received the first statement today. It shows $30k as the outstanding balance; yet the minimum payment is $0. Why is it not 1-2%? Don't get me wrong; I'm happy with this. But I also don't want to get suckered into not making a payment and then being in default.

I've never gotten a payment holiday from Citi, or from any other issuer when the APR is 0%. I'd send them a secure email asking through online account access so I'd have the response in writing if I were inclined to skip the payment.

Did that, and they replied "You have no minimum payment due." Under purchases and cash advances, it says "zero." and thus the minimum payment is zero. There is no mention of the BT.

I kept screen shots of both their email and of course the statement.

took at look at the WAMU FICO score. It is 782, 2 months after the AOR. Don't know what it was before. Doesn't seem like anything we've done so far has had a major impact on her score. heck, she could practically do an AOR again with that score (but not her current utilization).

Additionally, Citi really didn't assess a minimum payment due for her first statement. Strange. I can't find any language about "no payments" or payment holidays.

Just checked mine on my new WAMU MyPoints card. Shows 762 and I'm a little over 3 weeks post-AOR. No idea what it was before because the card was part of the AOR. It says it's a TU score, and it must be pretty new/fresh because I logged in there earlier this week and it wasn't available yet. For reference, TrueCredit.com says my TU score is 722.

update: I just today received my last 3 Cardoffers bonuses. This confirms 2 things:

a. it takes up to 3 months to get Cardoffers bonuses.
b. if you applied for more than 2 cards before the 2 card per year limit was in place, you should still get all your bonuses, even if all the eligible cards don't appear in your cardoffers.com account.

my wife's FICO is now 771, updated 4/1/7, so a decline of 11 points from pre-AOR 782. Not very much of a hit for 20 aps.

It's been over a month since the "no pmt due" Citi statement.
Did they ask for a monthly payment on the 2nd statement?


alert mods    

good memory - yes, they did. basically a one month payment holiday - kind of strange. no complaints from me. They only want a 1.5% minimum payment.

On April 25, 2007, it sort of dawned on us that we had actually applied for 2 AMEX Delta Biz cards and NO AMEX Delta personal cards. AMEX clearly told us we could not have the 10k mile bonus for each biz card. Thus we had 10,000 stranded, worthless miles in a DL account. So we applied for a personal card on 4/25/7 and as of today have been approved. Interesting to note that 3 months after a massive AOR involving 5 AMEX cards with $120,000 in new credit among a total of 20 aps, it was a simple matter to be approved for yet another AMEX card.

Seems like all you guys got a ton of new total credit which seems to boost or keep your scores high even though you have some utilization.
