[...] It turns out that the Citibank MasterCard I applied for went ahead and transfer the maximum limit of $5,000 from my Visa to the Citibank MasterCard. I thought I had missed the cut off date to do the zero interest balance transfer but it now appears not to be the case. When I went to check my mail today there was a letter from Citibank stating they had indeed transferred $5,000 of Visa balance into the MasterCard and that the zero percent interest will be good through December 5th, 2007.

[...] This seems to be the week for receiving old and new Credit Cards. TD Visa sent a couple of new cards for Sarah and me. This is my default Credit Card that I charge everything to because it gives me 1% cash back. Citibank also sent me that MasterCard I applied for back in November. All new Credit Cards have to be activated before they can be used so I spent 20 minutes in voice mail hell trying to get the cards unlocked. [...]

orange peel - No, what I am doing is using the new zero interest credit to pay off my TD Visa. This free up the cash I was going to use to pay off my Visa. I can not put that cash into investment.

John:

Can you clarify…are you saying you can transfer $10000 from the new Credit Card to your TD Visa when your TD Visa had a much lower balance, thereby you can request a refund from TD Visa on your overpayment and use that cash to invest? If so is this really possible? I always thought you can only transfer the amount that is really owed but not more.

Matt $ - Wow! Really? Is there a limit of the size of the money order you can place on a Credit Card. If they offer that here with no limit I take out a MO for the limit on my Visa and pay it off every month with the MO.

StingyFinance - Yes it does generate an extra hit to your credit report so you don’t want to apply to these too often.

Normally you can’t but money orders with credit but at my local grocery you can if you buy your food with it. I have done it a few times.
