I got a solicitation in my email from Bank of America to open another credit card with similar cash backs as one of my Chase cards (1.5%) and 0% interest for the first 18 months. The latter doesn't matter much since I pay my cards in full each month. But the temptation I could not resist is the $200 bonus cash back reward after spending $1,000 in three months. We can easily reach that figure in a month between my son's expenses and mine (he pays me back by the dates the payments are due). I've gotten other credit card solicitations in the past year and ironically my original BOA card was the only one I applied for (last summer).
I just had to go to each credit monitoring agency and unfreeze my credit for 24 hours since the email said the application would be approved within 30 seconds, which it was. Do you take advantage of these types of offers? If so, when was the last time and what was the deal?
