TBH I did not know there was a fee for those zero balance transfers. I’ve never done one.
Unfortunately, there is. They look attractive because it’s 0% for often times 15 to 20 months or longer but the problem is they charge you a fee to do so. Even with the fee, though, I think you still save money in the long run.

Want to know how to use credit cards ti get ahead gambling.

Its simple - sign up for cards with biggest bonus - use card to pay regular expenses and pay it off immediately - grab your promo bonus and close it.

Take your bonus and stick it in a Robinhood account and start building a base of profits - earning interest each month. Take that interest and hammer every little $10-25 promo the apps offer you.

This is the only way you will come out ahead gambling on credit. Take what little they give you and let it pile up.

Alot of you laugh - just like the class actions - but it is entirely possible to squeeze 5k a year in credit card signups. Same with bank signups a year - open checking accounts - send yourself a payment snd grab those free $200-300. Close the account before fees start.

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.
funny thing is i was banned by MG but when I did MyBookie over the summer I tried MG and it worked

still banned by Western Union

i did the same as you as a young man but racked up points I converted to dollars to pay my card. still ended up in debt lol.

I never looked into the angle. Do you get points on your credit card when you post up gambling?
You can if it goes down as a purchase. And that’s how it is with most un-regulated books. Using it at US books for deposits is usually a cash advance, which would not get points.

I've been doing some of those Banks sign ups here and there and a lot of them require a direct deposit or even some cases a reoccurring direct deposit

Yeah I did one of those with Chase and it went well. There is one for BOA I am looking at to try next. Just have to keep rotating my direct deposit and hold any minimum balance.

If you download the app InboxDollars you can do one from Sofi which is $400 and then you could do chime on there as well which I believe is $300
