weyes Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 wowsers - i have been absent for a while 'cause i can't get on the internet on my laptop and i still can't figure out why; i also haven't been to work (why my computer functions) since this problem arose, seeing as i'm sick as, well, whoever got me this damn sick . i write this on my roommate's computer.onto the column.one of my credit card companies sends me checks to use at a lower percentage rate as an incentive to use their services, as i haven't used this credit card at all in a long time. i just threw them out so as not to be tempted to use them. but now that i need to pay for repairs to my car, which got broken into, broken, and had property from it stolen, i have ended up needing those offers.i called the credit card peeps today to ask for some more of the checks. they offered, instead, to wire money directly into my account, at 0% for a year. they also suggested that they send me a crapload of money - up to $7,000 - so i could pay off other credit card debt at this low rate. my first reaction was to say "no," just 'cause i always say "no" to things that sound too good to be true. but i thought sbout it, and my current credit card w/ a boatload of debt on it has an apr % rate in the teens. even though the 0% lasts for a limited time, it goes to a comparable rate as the current one after that, so i have a year of an advantage.it just took a little thinking in a different frame of mind.tune in tomorrow.
