What happens when you transfer the same credit card balance twice?
So I've been getting multiple 0% balance transfer offers from credit card companies.
I decided to apply for one and transfer my discover balance. While applying for the card, I entered my discover acct info and balance to be transferred. Then I was told it would take more time to process the application, etc etc. So two weeks go by and I hear nothing, so I apply for another card with another company. The other card gets approved instantly, and I transfer my discover balance to them on 6/25. (around 4K) So I check the mail yesterday evening and get cards from the first company, I go online to access the new account and apparently they also sent $4K to discover on 6/29. So now for the moment it appears that I owe this balance twice. Discover is just showing a zero balance (but it's very possible the payment sent on 6/29 hasn't processed yet) Has this ever happened to anyone here? How did it play out? |

Sounds like a mess in the making. Hopefully the second one gets returned. I know on some cards your are only allowed to pay a certain amount under the zero balance. For example if you needed to make a purchase over your line.
Good luck. Probably best bet talking to Discover card first.

I've never done it but I would think that once the first transfer went thru there would be nothing left to transfer a 2nd time. Hopefully.

Bleh, I just talked to discover, they said they have to accept the payment, but then they can mail me a check afterwards.
The problem is both of the other companies charged me a 3% fee to transfer the balance, so I need to try and talk the 2nd one into dropping that fee if I pay the balance off right away. Otherwise I paid 6% upfront to get rid of a balance I was only being charged 11% on  That's bad math |

you have more money than brains, but if you keep up with this behavior they should balance out and you will be broke in both departments.
good luck. |
