Personal 0% APR + Balance-Transfer Arbitrage

Stack personal 0% purchase/BT cards; deploy the float into cash-flowing assets.

Overview

Open 3–6 personal cards with 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers (12–21 months). Use the purchase 0% for deployable spend; use BT lines to consolidate high-APR debt or free existing cash. Deploy the freed capital into short-duration cash-flowing assets (T-bills, MMFs, private lending, inventory). Refinance or pay off before promo expires; never carry into the 24–29% go-to APR.
