Thanku 🙂
Thanks for your ideas. One thing I have noticed is the fact banks plus financial institutions know the dimensions and spending behaviors of consumers as well as understand that a lot of people max out and about their credit cards around the holidays. They properly take advantage of this real fact and start flooding ones inbox and snail-mail box together with hundreds of no-interest APR credit card offers shortly after the holiday season closes. Knowing that in case you are like 98 of American public, you’ll leap at the possible opportunity to consolidate financial debt and transfer balances to 0 rate credit cards.
