How many houses can you buy with $1.7 mil?
A thousand way split tender? And then pay back at 15%+ APR? Count me out.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

All the more reason to increase the CL, get more high-CL cards and buy a house with a few cards. On 0% APR for 18 months. MS the the remaining balance on new 0% APR cards after those 18 months.

I think I'd rather manufacture 75k and use that as a down payment to buy a house at 3.5%. Which real estate broker takes credit card?

I'd also rather that. Sounds like a great idea. If this guy would be on DDF, he may see this convo & learn new stuff. :)
Another example:
I would venture to say that DDFers got more from their 1500 cards on SBS than this guy got from his 1500 cards.

Why not 1500?

Baskin Robbins and Coldstone Creamery are yet to offer one.

With an average credit limit of just over $1000, he must have a lot of garbage cards.

How many prime cards come with a $1K limit?

And how usable are they?

That's a horrible average limit and probably means that he has tons of garbage store cards with $200 limits.

Your -1 is a misinformed -1.

The guy basically said straight out that they were every garbage store card he ever saw. (It's $1135 a card. Was discussed briefly in the first thread about this, linked above.)

Yeah, this topic seems to come up at least once a year on most credit related forums.

Obviously it's a crap portfolio.

Why does anyone need more than 1 credit card?
