jofunk's review: 
Tried the online application twice and customer service couldn't find my application so they sent me to another department to take my application over the phone. After taking my information they sent me to another department to review my application. The rep had my credit report in front of her and she asked questions as needed to clarify. It was nice to talk to a human while they were looking at my report... She informed me that I qualified for a CL of $4000, but I explained that I was hoping for $9000 to do a balance transfer from a BOA high APR Gold Option Loan. She said that she would input my request but I would still only qualify for $4000. She submitted my balance transfer request and then surprisingly, to her and I, the system increased my CL to $10k! She informed me that I would receive my card in 1 week.
CL $10k
APR 19.99 (surprisingly high)
Balance transfer fee 3%
18 mo interest free on balance transfers
EX 768 EQ 768 TU 777
5 inquiries. 2 from recent credit apps (decline from Amex and approved for citi Forward)

Awesome and congrats! Speaking with someone made all the difference! Enjoy that BT, but make sure you get the 3% fee back by paying this off before the end of the deal!
