Low Introductory Rate Credit Cards
Excellent for Balance Transfer
The folowing credit cards offer low introductory
interest rate as low as 0%:
Shopping for the best credit card value can
be complicated. Different issuers charge different
interest rates. They also use different methods
to calculate finance charges. The APR measures
the cost of credit as a yearly interest rate.
APRs on credit cards can vary from five to 25
percent. If you're like most people and carry
a balance on your credit card at least sometimes,
the APR can make a big difference. These low introductory
rate credit cards are excellent for balance transfers.

List of Low Introductory Rate Credit
Cards
Quite a few credit card issuers offer attractive
introductory rates as low as zero percent. If
you carry a balance on your credit card, such
offers are veryi advantageous. However, be aware
that these low rates generally apply for a limited
time only. As soon as the introductory period
ends, the rate will increase to the card's regular
rate.
Before applying for a specific credit card, it
is important that you understand the terms and
conditions of the introductory offer. Ask the
credit card issuer:
- what transactions the introductory rate offer
applies to;
- when the introductory period will end;
- what the interest rate will be at the end
of the introductory period;
- if the introductory rate will end if you make
a late payment or exceed the credit card limit;
- if any other fees or conditions apply.
Your strategy with low introductory rate offers
First, find out which transactions the offer
applies to. If the low introductory rate applies
only to balance transfers and/or cash advances
(and not to purchases), limit your new purchases
until you pay off the balance transfer or cash
advance to save money in the long run.
When low introductory rate applies only to balance
transfers, if you make purchases while carrying
a balance, you may reduce the potential savings
from the low introductory rate on your balance
transfer or cash advance. That's because you lose
the interest-free period on new purchases and
your payments will be first applied to the lower-interest
balance.
Don't base your credit card decision solely on
one factor such as an attractive introductory
rate. Make sure you understand all of the features
and conditions of a card to decide whether it
is right for you.
