Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Right. I don’t carry balances either, but we’re talking workarounds. Loans are ideal if you have collateral. No argument there. Otherwise I’m suggesting opening a new card with 0% into APR, transfer, and pay down the principal over the interest free period. The slight ding to your credit from opening a new card will be offset by the greater credit to debt ratio and bounce back in 4-6 months.
And you can do that...
But in the terms and agreements there's stuff about abusing it by continuously bouncing it around.
Has been for at least 20 years. They used to not care, but like I just said I believe some do now.
Like cellphones used to have a deal when you brought a line over so people always switched. So cell phones started denying people if they saw the number always bounced.
Credit card companies can see the paper trail. If they wanted to, they could go after people if the same money came back to one of their cards.
And those are usually closer to 30% than 22%, and they can wait till month 11 and charge 30% compound back to when you transfered the money in.
I didn't want to type all that, so I just said:
Hoping that would get the point across...
I didn’t realize by paying attention you meant implementing penalization. I follow now. So yes, in that case you’re right. The better option would certainly be a loan.
