Discover Card Existing Card Holders 0% APR for Next 12 months! as Always YMMV!

+168 Deal Score
61,345 Views
Worth a shot to log in to your Discover card account and "chat" a rep. Four months ago, I came off a 12 month 0% APR on purchases and just got it again by asking. Of course TWO months ago I asked if there were any special APR rates and was told "no." Last chat was this:
Me: "Good morning, I was wondering if there were any special offers available on my card"
Rep: "Was there anything in particular you were looking for?"
Me: "Special APR for purchases or anything interesting?"
Rep: "I show you are eligible for 0% APR for the next 12 months, would you like me to apply that to your account?"
Me: Sure, thanks!

cause they are snakes bite off your cash before showing good will
Right, the people offering me about a $50k line of credit for a year with 0% interest are total snakes because they might not offer it until I ask twice.

Quote from DealGypsy :
Dealers will charge you to use your card.
Generally, yes. I always figure if a dealer is allowing you to charge a car on a card, you definitely haven't negotiated a good enough deal on the car.

Quote from Samwise Gamgee :
Is there potential for accumulating such a huge balance that it becomes overwhelming to pay off?
Exactly the same potential for accumulating a huge balance as on every other credit card that exists--that is, it's entirely up to the cardholder.

Quote from jugernot :
Don't leave a balance on your credit cards month to month... Mmmkay folks. 😉
Don't project your own financial difficulties onto people you don't know, mmkay?

Money is so cheap right now; I'm not surprised Discover is offering 0% again. Right now I have 0% on two Barclay cards, a Chase card, a Citi card and two AMEX cards. Crazy. Guess I'll add Discover to that list!

Nor do many of us here, but you seem to be automatically equating the free use of a $50k LOC as accruing 'debt' in a bad way. Debt is great when there's low or no interest involved--it means that another party is subsidizing your own financial gains.

No doubt that a few idiots get buried after accepting these offers, but you can always tell someone's level of financial literacy by whether they view such things as an opportunity or as an albatross.

2k to be paid atm on my account. just got 0% for the next year on future purchases. awesome and smooth. Thanks a lot guys.

Thank you for waiting! Looking at your account, I do see that you are eligible for a promotional 0% APR on future purchases for 12 months. The promotional rate of 0.00% will apply to new purchases made during the promotional period between transaction start date 09/14/2021 through transaction end date 09/13/2022. After rate expiration date 11/06/2022, your standard purchases APR, currently 19.99% will apply to any remaining balance. This APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. Please note that purchases that post to your account after the promotional period will be subject to your standard purchases APR. Is this something you'd be interested in applying to your account?

Me: Hell yea woman S2

The banks have been chewing on that cheap money for so long they are trying to let some trickle down before it disappears and someone will ask why it did not get to the small fry borrowers.

It's funny because they think they know what they are talking about.
