Are Credit Card Companies Still Approving Applications for Balance Transfers?



With the “credit crunch” dominating headlines, many people may find it more difficult to get approved for a credit card.

My question to readers is this: have you had difficulty getting approved for a credit card recently? Any feedback would be appreciated. Feel free to post here or send us an email with your thoughts.
