Careful opening up new revolving accounts yearly and then closing them out.You get a new card every year with 0% for 12 months. I rotate three cards and get a new card every year and discard one. The card I just got has $700 cash back once you put 9k on the card over a four month period. It's a no brainer.
Also CC are absolutely the safest form of payment due to the ability to cancel and just get a new number and theft protection built in.
That will have a negative effect on your credit score.
The WY/NM cash up front issue:
NM apply the last day (with a card that the monthly cycle ends furthest from that application date) and then they will typically refund before the next bill cycle is due...no worries.
WY...just pay the balance like normal and when refund credit hits ask for a check in the mail.
