I wrote a couple of weeks ago about getting a new credit card. The main reason for the new card was to transfer my very high (16.99% APR) rate card to take advantage of the 6 mo. introductory 0% rate.
I've started using the card. Thin ice - I know. But, I'm resticting purchases to gas, groceries, and work items for which I will get reimbursed. I will pay off all purchases each month plus the predetermined amount to pay off the transferred amount over the time-frame I've set up.
The reason I'm using the card is so that it will remain active, and help boost my credit score for credit utilization.
So, I'm using a credit card again, after a three-year fast. We'll see if I can discipline myself this time. I think the chances are pretty good.
