it sounds like way more work than just getting a few hours overtime to make up a couple hundred dollars.


An often overlooked point. It takes time to stay on top of things.

$5K at 6% APR = two movies given up per month. Not exactly life-changing.

I'm a fan of playing the credit card game but at this point in life boosting income (i.e. the value of your time) is a lot more important.

Would it be wise to move $5000 worth of student loans with 6% interest to the card?


Do it.

And then file bankruptcy.

That will teach them.

It'll just be a preferential transfer that gets clawed back, and if you charge over $500 on a credit card and file within 90 days, it automatically gets fraud treatment and becomes non dischargeable.
