I know it would be less interest for me but still a profit right?
As long as the cc company does not have a percentage/transaction fee for every check then 0% offers can benefit your interest bearing checking account as long as you pay it off in time. Always read the fine print because some checks can be treated as a cash advance and hence the aforementioned transaction fees. This would negate an profit your looking to make.
