As JJ alluded to this is only a good strategy if you can pay off the credit cards. Not to mention you get some rewards as well. It’s a win-win.
good point. if you deposit with a cc, get the 1.5 to 2% cash back on the deposit.

in theory this is good. i did try it and sometimes i pay and other times i am behind a month or two. being honest.

My favorite time of using the credit card for gambling was having it on file with W-U in their preferred customer program. Could call up W-U anytime and send transfers to the books. They would go down as purchases so I was able to rack up thousands of frequent flier miles each month.

This was back in the early 2000’s. I was eventually banned for life by WU in 2006. Fun while it lasted and at least I got some Costa Rica flights paid for with the routine.

I was joking.

Dear god. I hope you know this entire thread is sarcasm Bobby. :banghead:
Using a CC for gambling is not smart.......
I’m just saying in general balance transfers can be worthwhile, but the fees can hurt. The same as spending money just to get credit card rewards.
