Brian, you spent more time writing your comment than it would have taken you to click the Twitter link and see the credit card info. So if you want the link, you’re gonna have to go to my Twitter page. But for everybody else (Brian, you are not allowed to click on the link I’m about to put in this comment), here’s the link to the credit card offer: http://tinyurl.com/66uuzt

Gotta agree with Tom… why is the link to the transfer offer not in the article right where you are talking about it? I just read two whole paragraphs about how great an offer it is… with no link. You can’t tell me that its just as easy for the reader to find on your Twitter account, or that its any harder for you to add the link in the story. The whole thing reads like a shill for your Twitter account… which is Lame-O.

Also, I must have read about the WT Direct deal on like every other personal finance blog on the planet by now….

Sorry man, but the bottom line, as you state, is that blogging takes a ton of time for the writer AND the reader when we have to slog through redundant info. Why not just uncover the basics of how one can make “a Cool $826.75 in 10 Minutes” in like 2 or three paragraphs?

That would save me/us a lot of time. THAT would be BAM!

Tom, as I mentioned in the article, you can find the link to this credit card deal by following me on Twitter. Let me know if you can't find it.

This is like a wild goose chase. You did not mention which credit card offer it was, are you trying to get us to open every offer? What is up with this carrot on a pole?

Hey, Ted. Thanks for subscribing. In this case, it does seem more like a cash advance, but the credit card companies treats it like a balance transfer. I’ve had other cards do the same thing when I’m using the money to pay down my home equity. For some reason they have trouble paying that directly, unlike a high interest credit card.

Hi, new subscriber to The Dough Roller. Not sure I understand why this is considered a “balance transfer” and not a cash advance – you’re being sent a check! Any explanations or pointers appreciated. Thanks.
