    I just received my brand new AT&T Universal Card with 0% BT offer until 12/02 (yeah!). I transerred about $600 from my Skymiles Amex last week.

    However, I am contemplating a computer purchase and I'm wondering if I can put it on my Amex and then BT it to the Universal card for 0% rate?

    Does anyone know of any restrictions about new purchases being BT'd?

    Thanks.

    I do it all the time. :) Eg. Last month I made a large purchase on Amex, waited 30 days and then did a BT over to AT&T. No BT fees and no interest for 12 months. Around the 11th month I will pull the money out of a CD and pay it off. Didn't pay $.01 in interest, but made 6% on my CD. You really can't lose.

    Thanks Dani! You know, that makes me very happy. :)

    My only regret is that at the same time I have this AT&T 0% Bt offer I also have a Citi Plat. Select 0% BT offer. Why can't they stagger them? ;)

    You can BT to almost ANY account with almost ANY company...

    You can even BT to an account that you DON'T even owe much money on and then ask for a check refund...

    Thanks George!

    I just noticed something funny... the IP address that is listed in my two posts above are not correct. Atleast they aren't correct for the computer I posted from... that IP address is my work IP which I probably registered under, but I posted the above from home. Odd.

    Just thought I would mention it.

    Edit: This post's IP address is wrong too ;)
