Counterpoint: Open 3 new credit cards with introductory low APR rate, spread purchase out between the 3 of them, stalk out Target, Walmart, and Costco for Pokemon restocks, fight other strangers wearing socks with sandals for the restock, sell on Ebay, repeat for the next 6 months trying to outrun the higher APR kicking in, realize you've barely made a dent in it, don't pay and wait for collections to call, change phone number, wait for the threat of having your wages garnished, sell the card at a 10K loss because you need the money now.
