    I was talking to "R". It seems that they hold the amount of charges (not interest, not BT) as a BIG factor in what you qualify for, (BT,base rate).

    the guy said every charge you make, they get a cut, so they like to see people who move alot of money through their accounts to get the best balance transfer offers (with reduce their profit) and lowest base APR.

    makes sense :)

    If they "OFFERED" 4.75% (PRIME) on purchases...they would get "TONS" of purchases!!!!

    I've had the plat. select card for almost two years. I've used it only for BTs and never charged a purchase on it. I called a few days ago and got the purchase APR reduced from 11.9 to 6.65.
