It is my understanding that a balance transfer TO a card does not count toward spending.
However, I am wondering if a balance transfer FROM a card counts as paying off the spending.
IOW, if I have three new cards from chase that have a collective spending threshold of 6,000, can I use the cards, run up a balancem then pay those cards OFF by transferring their balances to my new US Airways card that will give me points for BTs? This would kill two birds with one stone.
