Overview
www.getmyvisa.com is a domain used by Washington Mutual for pre-approved mail offer credit cards. In general, credit cards offered on www.getmyvisa.com, such as the ESPN Visa, offer consumers a 0% APR for 6 months on purchases and transfers and APRs ranging from 9.99% to 23.99%, based on a review of your credit.
Getmyvisa.com Vs. Current Offers from Other Issuers
Overall, getmyvisa.com offers fare poorly when compared to current credit card offers from other issuers. For example, Discover offers a 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for a full year. Other banks, such as Chase, Citi, or Bank of America, offer similar deals with a 0% APR on either purchases or balance transfers for up to 1 year.
You can compare 0% APR offers from every major credit card issuer in the credit card comparison section of Smart Balance Transfers. Once you’ve found the best credit card deal, you can apply online for instant approval.
Should you prefer to apply for a www.getmyvisa.com offer, visit their website.

I didn’t get a getmyvisa.com offer, but I was on the Washington Mutual website and I was looking for credit cards. The only offer available was a Platinum Mastercard and it required that I sign in to see if I qualified for an offer. Is that common? Also, I’m looking for a new card with a 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers. Do you have any suggestions?

Sam,
Sorry for taking three days to get back to you. With regard to the Washington Mutual website, I’ve never seen anything like it. This is a recent change, because I am quite sure you used to be able to apply for a Washington Mutual credit card on their website without entering a code.
As for your credit card question, I still strongly recommend the Discover More card (see http://www.smartbalancetransfers.com to apply). It offers a 0% APR on balance transfers and purchases for a full year, plus it charges low balance transfer fees.
As to the getmyvisa.com ESPN offer, it is really only good for people who know they will be repaying their balance in 6 months. The way credit card companies have been behaving, it may not be possible to get a 0% APR balance transfer for a year in a few months.
Hope this helps.
