It was VERY little work for an easy $1k. So I wouldn't really agree it is "a lot of work for a little return." Though interest rates were much more favorable last year.

I think Safari answered your questions though - Citi makes it VERY easy.

Plus on top of that there were ThankYou rewards so I made an easy $100 in Target gift cards (opened 2 cards).
For 16 months!? how did u maintain a 0% interest for 16 months that seems like a long time for a card to have 0% interest. How did u personally deal with the monthly Minimum Payment on the card, if u have like 20-40k on a credit card wouldnt the monthly payment be pretty high?
