How to Compare 0% Balance Transfer Credit Cards

There are some cards that offer a 0% rate for balance transfers and for purchases. If you need a card for both, this may work for you.

You must make sure it that the 0% interest rate lasts the same amount of time for both the purchases and the balance transfer.

It is important to find out exactly what the interest rate will be once the introductory time has expired.

If you're going to have to pay a 20% rate of interest after six months, and you don't feel that you can get your debt handled within this time frame, then you would be better off looking for a 12 month or longer balance transfer card that offers a low rate.

See if they have any extra rewards.

How to Find the Right Card?06

Guidelines on how to choose the right 0% balance transfer credit card for you.

Find out if there is a handling fee on the transfer.

Read through the terms and conditions and find out how the payments will be applied.

If you use your card for purchases and the interest rate is higher than the balance

transfer rate, none of your payments will go towards your purchase balance until you

have finished paying off your balance transfer. This means that interest will continue to

grow on your purchase amount, and you will be accumulating new debt while you are

trying to pay off the old one.

must be used that way. The thing that you can do is hide the card anyway so that you

never use it for any purchases.

4. Find out when it ends. You need to be very clear about the end date on the

introductory period for your 0% balance transfer card so that you can set a target date

for paying it off.

5. Make use of the entire promotional time period. The sooner you can transfer over the

balance to your new card, the sooner you can start taking advantage of the 0% interest

rate.
