New Trial Stoozing (Free Cash from Credit Cards) Board

There's been a lot of discussion over whether we need a stoozing forum. I've decided the only way to find out is to set up a trial board for a month to six weeks.

If it doesn't work out it's easy to close it and move the threads back.

    I'll buck the trend!

    I actually quite like having separate forums. People who don't stooze need credit card advice and people who are stoozing already have a lot of the basics. The separate boards enable info/questions/advice to be more tailored and relevant.

    When I was starting to learn about stoozing I got really confused, and only after a couple of hours research was I able to identify points of confusion. Separate boards help to keep the 'lingo' separate, which can only reduce confusion for people, which is good!

    Makes life more helpful for everyone, I think!

    Just my humble opinion.....(*ducks for cover*);) :D
    If it was easy, everyone would do it!

    It's borrowing money off credit cards at 0% and making money by putting it in a high interest savings account.

    Look at the blue box above and click on the "Stoozing" link.

    i like the seperate forums. I'm new to stoozing and find having all the info in one place handy. I can look down the thread titles and quickly see which ones are relevent. As i'm new to it I do get confused with the lingo and like Jacster said, it keeps it all together. It also alerts you to things you may not have thought of/considered before and would have definitely missed had it been in the CC forum.
    Saving money is fun :A
