I've got credit cards with most of the major banks (all but one has a $0 balance) and also a Q Card and GEM Visa.

 

Am a bit of a fan of balance transfers, and interest free periods (and the like).  Was thinking of creating a private forum where we can discuss what current offerings the banks have, and how to best utilise them.

 

Anyone else here keen?

Start a thread in the VIP Lounge?




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

I'm interested in so far as I use these things and haven't thought enough about how to best use them. 

 

I could geek out on financial instruments....yeah.

 

Would this be limited to banking or would things like Bitcoin to bank interfaces also be on topic?

Private forum? Are you trying to keep bank staff (and/or their families) out of it? cool




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Hmm, not sure right now.  Obviously not trying to do anything fraudulent, just making the different banking products work to my advantage :)

Interest? Isn't that what banks are for?

Good idea there is a lack of that sort of knowledge out there, although is there a reason it would be a  private one?
