Here is the first part of App-O-Rama: Yes, I have done this!
App-O-Rama means to apply for many many, possible up to 100, credit cards at one time(meaning in one day) in order to fool Credit cards company to give you all the offers.
- Why? To make $$$$$$$$ lots and lots of $$$$$$$
- How? Many cards have sign-on bonuses such as Cash, Credit, free miles, free ipods, but the main one is to do Balance Transfer(borrow money at 0% Apr and put it into a 5% Savings account).
- Who should do this? You should do this if your credit score is above 650 and you are not buying a home within a year.
- How much do you make a year from doing this? I estimate to be around minimum $3K a year if you do this right, and it can be recycled every year.
- What are the bad things about App-O-Rama? It will screw your credit score for a little while. Car insurance rate may be higher or your interest rate loan on a new car may be higher.
