0% Pleasant Surprise
Today I receive the Citibank card for the zero percent offer. I activated the card and called them up to request checks so that I could get the money over to my money market account. The operator started the process and then remembered that, as of yesterday, they will not send blank checks any more.
I was a bit disappointed so I thought I’d call Novus(the Discover card people) to see what they would do with an overpayment figuring they might send me a check that would let me get the money to Emigrant Direct. While I was thinking about this I was registering for the Citibank card site. I clicked on the balance transfer button and they will let you send yourself a check!
Bingo! That is exactly what I wanted.
We’ll see how long it takes to get the check here. The site said about two weeks.
