Low Interest Credit Card Transfers

By prive@pacbell.net | August 15, 2008

There are at least two different kinds of credit card users today — the credit card users who pay the balance on their credit card every month and the other credit card user who don’t pay their balance off every month.

With the highest percentage of people leaning towards not paying their credit card balance off monthly, applying for a credit card with low interest rates on a balance transfer would be a good move for most people to make.

Many credit cards have completely outrageous annual percentage rates and before you know it, the payment you are making every month is only paying on there interest and not even knocking anything off the bill. These are the kinds of credit cards guaranteed to cause you financial trouble.

With certain preferred credit cards that offer low rates on balance transfers you can get out of the credit card debt you may have accumulated. The idea is to take the low interest, or maybe even zero percent interest, balance transfer card and completely pay off the card with the high interest rates, thus saving you lots of money.

Using a credit cards low interest feature can really help. It would be ideal for your credit score if you refrain from using the low interest balance transfer cards. Use the low interest card to pay off the high interest card and not for anything else. When you do it this way, you can pay your debt off and you don’t even have to worry about accumulating any future debt. Be sure to use a different low interest rate card for your spending.

Most new credit cards offer introductory rates that last around 12 months (some times not as long). For those who don’t plan on paying their credit card bill off in twelve months, it could be better to just keep switching cards. Of course, it would be best to switch cards around every six months and start hunting for a new card at least 3 weeks before your switch. Frequent switching of cards will allow you to take advantage of introductory rates all of the time. Note that it is important to read everything about the credit cards that you choose, as some have hidden fees.

In order to use low interest on credit cards balance transfer features to your advantage, you must stay on top of your finances. Keep track of how long you have used one card and how long the introductory rate is good for. If you don’t keep track of these things, before you realize it, your credit card company will tack all sorts of interest on your bill.
