Remember when you could borrow $25,000 without interest for 12 months on a Citibank MasterCard ? If only the EuroDocs took credit cards, I might be on a plane sooner than later. I know that there might be some well qualified American surgeons, but I doubt that my insurance covers a 2 level ADR in the USA. More to come, in the meantime, I have some very good Spanish wine recommendations. Cheers.

Boxer, I am doing that. In my case, I'm only taking out a $14,000 interest free loan on my Citibank American Express. I don't have to pay it back until Feb, 2014 without acquiring any interest. They treat it as a balance transfer (even though they deposited the finds into my checking account) and a 3% processing fee applies. I suggest you call Citibank, explain your situation and see what they can do for you. I have other funds to finance the remaining cost my surgery, so I only took $14,000. BTW, the offer applies to any Citibank card. It doesn't matter if it's Mastercard or American Express.
