More risky though, in case you suddenly find you can't get approved for the new CC after putting 10k on one which isn't 0%Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

If you have several cards it's a useful trick for managing cashflow. When I moved back to the UK from Germany I was fairly skint so I put almost all of my spending on a CC and transferred it to another 0% one. It cost the 3% transfer fee or whatever but that enabled me to stockpile cash for the warchest very quickly.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
