How we got that: $800 spread evenly across the 18-month introductory window on the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card. Checked · at the bank Carry a balance past the window and the standard APR applies to what is left.

Picture your backyard with a mobile axe throwing trailer parked out front and a crowd waiting for their turn. Summer weekends fill up fast, so you need to book at least two months out to get the date you actually want.

Big event rentals take some coordination with your space and your neighbors. Once the date is locked in, you just need a straightforward way to handle the $800 bill without draining your checking account all at once.

That intro window is a hard deadline, not free money. If you still have a balance left on the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card when the 18 months run out, standard interest kicks in on what you owe.

The steps

  1. 01

    Pick your date early

    Book at least two months out for popular summer weekends. Trailer companies have limited rigs, and prime Saturday slots go first.

  2. 02

    Check the yard requirements

    Measure your driveway or lawn to make sure the delivery truck and trailer can actually fit. Ask the vendor about clearance and ground conditions before you put down a deposit.

  3. 03

    Spread out the $800 cost

    We can use the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card, which gives you 0% for 18 months on purchases and balance transfers from date of account opening. If you divide $800 across that intro window on purchases, you get $44.44 per month.

  4. 04

    Confirm insurance and permits

    Ask the rental company for proof of liability insurance. Check with your city or HOA to make sure hosting a throwing trailer in your yard does not violate any local rules.

  5. 05

    Handle safety and waivers

    Make sure guests sign digital waivers ahead of time so the line keeps moving. Designate a sober spotter to keep everyone safe while the targets are active.

  6. 06

    Check the card terms before you commit

    Every figure we publish for the Citi Simplicity® Credit Card carries the date a person verified it against Citi and a link to where they checked. Intro windows and APRs change without notice, so confirm the current terms before applying.

Common questions

How much does a mobile axe throwing trailer cost?

A typical US rental runs about $800 for a standard party block. Prices can climb if you add extra hours or require a longer drive from the vendor.

How far in advance should I book?

Book at least two months out for popular summer weekends. Good vendors fill up their calendars months ahead of time.

What does 0% for 18 months mean?

It means you have 18 months from account opening where new purchases do not accrue interest. You still have to make your monthly payments on time.

What happens if I do not pay off the $800 in time?

If any of that balance remains when the 18 months end, interest charges will apply to the remaining amount. Make sure your monthly payment covers the whole balance before the deadline.
