I do not recommend this to anyone that doesnt have the heart and desire to play games. I played the 12 months interest free game. Every major purchase I did would always be 12 months interest free, double points for the first 3 months ect ect. As long as I got 6 to 12 months interest free I applied for the card. Keep in mind this was when the economy was good. I did this when I redid my garage floor, attic insulation, parts for my firebird, you name it I did it. Whenever I had a big project I would apply for a new card and charge everything more or less at once on that ONE card and then put it aside and never use it again. To make the numbers each lets say insulating my attic was about $1200 (believe it or not it was close to that). I got a credit card for 12 months interest free and paid the credit card 100 bucks a month. By the time the interest was to kick in the card was paid off. I put the money in the bank (once again interest rates were good at the time) so I made a couple bucks each month in the bank. Figure I did this for YEARS and now have about 10 credit cards. My total credit available is about 60K. My credit score is about 775. What I did was/is not for everyone! To date I can no longer do what I USED to be able to do because of shitty job history and the economy. The last time I applied for a credit card I was denied due to the fact that I had “too many revolving accounts.” Keep in mind that if I canceled these cards my credit score WOULD take a hit.
