I have an excellent credit and only 2 cc (Amex and Citi) and want to open a new cc that offer free transfer balance and 0apr for 12/18 month.

What are the best option ?
( And does a business cc will be better for that propose or not? I don't have a business..)


And could I do transfer balance from 2 cc or you allow to do only 1 to 1 ?

Thanks.
this is a good option. Chase business ink unlimited

I currently have the Amex blue cash got in the mail a offer for the Amex gold premier rewards 50k miles after spending 2k is it worth for the $195 a year?  and when/if can I close the account so not to get charged after 12 months?
How long ago did you get that Mailer? I thought they stopped mailing  out offers ,interesting to hear that they still have offers floating around in the mail.

Personal mailers are still around, the PRG ones are still quite common.

Yup. Even those that charge a BT fee (for 0% APR  intro cards) usually keep it at 3%,so this is actually worse then those.

Where are you getting that number from?

from the app of each cc :
Amex - 785
Citi - 776
Bankof - 776

this is a good option. Chase business ink unlimited

Those are some decent scores, since you are under 5/24 you can get the Chase Slate for 15 months.
There is the Amex Everydays for 15 months as well, + a SUB.
For a Business option, there is the Amex Blue For Business Plus with a SUB as well.

If you have a history with Amex (credit cards, not charge) you generally can figure out what CL they'll give, but you don't get enough there is no recourse, as you can't transfer credit during the no BT fee period.

With Chase you can transfer credit if they don't approve you for a high enough CL.

BOA has a popular option as well with the Americard, but I don't see an advantage to that, unless you think you can get a nice CL.

What is all the differences regarding charge cards versus regular?

IME Amex generally approves around your highest CL, lower if it's recent, higher if it's older.

Yes

 Ed card = Blue business !?

It's as 'sole proprietorship'' or under a real business ?
