All cards received other than BOA business and Bank Atlantic (CL still unknown there too). Did a BT of 10K with AMEX (6 months, no fee), made a purchase on the Chase card (Sirius radio to get in on the lifetime deal) to get the $100 bonus. One the payment is posted, I'll do a BT of ~50% there. Planning out my BT strategies for the others now as well (loving the Citi flexibility).

markkundinger said:Check your Sony card, it's probably 0% on purchases as well. Therefore you can go nuts with the BT right away.

(But charging-then-paying is a great method for cards with have a bonus on first purchase, but not a 0% on purchases deal)

Good point - didn't even think of that. Purchase was only $95, so no big deal on paying it off quickly.

Totally unrelated, but did you get your BofA Platinum Biz card yet (I believe it was #29 on your AOR)? There seems to be some general uncertainty surrounding the BT fee (or lack thereof). I figured we'd ask when we call to activate the card, but thought it couldn't hurt to ask while we're waiting

you did a BT from your AMEX to your Chase SonyStyle card? I read that Chase doesn't like overpayments. Are you going to use the included BT check in the Sony Welcome package and write it for the amount of the AMEX BT + part of your SonyStyle limit?

Sorry - wasn't very clear. The BTs that went to wife's AMEX came from 2 of my cards (Discover and a Chase) that had 0s about to expire. Probably gonna use the check for the SonyStyle card once we pay off the purchase.
