Our Verdict
Nice deal for anybody that is targeted, just make sure you keep the money to pay off the balance. Might not even worth it considering the low deposit savings rates currently.

I just got this offer on my Amex Everyday and want to start using it. I am thinking of investing the money for the payoff in Crypto
I hope he didn't....
hmm what does 'purchases of other cash equivalents.' entail? can you buy stocks, crypto, or other investments?
Targeted for this on my AmEx EveryDay. Thanks DoC!
This showed up on an old Blue Sky card when I looked this morning but did not pull the trigger, went back in a few hours later, its not listed anymore....
DId the offer re-appear? Disapperaed on me yesterday.
Thanks for posting this!
I don’t have this offer but curious if it also excludes Amex send and split charges because they’re not actually purchases per se
i got this on my no fee Hilton card. I also got an upgrade offer on this card. If I enroll for the 0% APR then I upgrade, do I still get the 0% APR?
Got it on Hilton Surpass
Got it on Delta gold
Got this on my BCP.
