I am on the lookout for a new high limit free balance transfer credit card for stoozing, as my current one is coming to the end of its interest free period.
It occurred to me that I could BT onto an existing card, put it in positive territory and then close that card, getting a check for the balance as a result. The card I have in mind has only a 2 dollar fee for cash advance when you have a positive balance.
Can anyone (familiar with what I'm talking about) see a problem with this?
PS - spare me the discussions about my credit rating etc, ta.
For those like me who didn't know: stoozing is the act of borrowing money at an interest rate of 0%, a rate typically offered by credit card companies as an incentive for new customers. The money is then placed in a high interest bank account to make a profit from the interest earned.
