Does the credit lending industry (Citi, Chase, BofA etc) have a black list for individuals who invest using credit cards? Here's my scenario
I have reasonably good credit. As such, I receive no less than 20 promotions a month offering 0% interest for a year on purchases and balance transfers. Periodically, the lending institutions waive balance transferfees but NOT cash advance fees so it's hard to get your hands on cold hard liquid cash.
I recently signed up for XYZ credit account which WAIVED CASH ADVANCE TRANSACTION FEEs so I had them cash advance me the entire $$$ credit limit into my checking account.
The goal is to invest this money into a liquid 5% YIELD money market with $0 borrowing cost (assuming I stay on top of it). Because waiving cash advance fees is so uncommon, I plan to pay off my XYZ account by balances transferring the XYZ balance to another 0% credit institutions with no bal transfer fee.
I'll then start the cash advance process over. The goal is to have 6 accounts bearing 0% interest totaling over a $100k which is earning $$$ in the money market
I DON'T WANT THE LENDING INDUSTRY TO “CATCH ON” AND BLACK LIST ME IN THE EVENT I SOMEDAY NEED THE 0% FOR REAL REASONS. ANY IDEAS?
