Many of us have been in this situation, two or three credit cards with balances and a high interest rate being charged monthly. If you can only pay the minimum due each month, you will never get ahead. The majority of your monthly payment is being eaten up by interest. There is a way out of this situation and that is with a 0 Balance Transfer Credit Card.
A 0 Balance Transfer Credit Card is an offer that gives you an introductory 0% APR, usually for the first twelve months billing cycles and allows you to transfer the balance from high interest rate credit cards to your new account. With a plan and discipline, this allows you time to pay down your principal interest free.
Like all consumer products, 0 Balance Transfer Credit Card offers are not altogether the same, so you really need to do your homework and compare the fine print of each card. You need to be certain that the card you finally decide on will give you exactly what you want and that's to pay down as much of your debt as possible during the introductory period. It's also wise to know what the regular interest rate will be once the introductory period is over should you not be able to pay off the entire balance during the introductory time.
Some cards offer the 0% APR for balance transfers as well as new purchases and cash advances, while other issues only offer the 0% APR for the balance transfer only. Please be aware that payments are applied toward the lower interest rate balance. So if the 0% APR only includes the balance transfer and you charge on your card, any payments made will be applied toward the 0% APR balance until it is cleared.
There is a charge for transferring the balance to your new account, ranging from a minimum of $5, to a maximum of $75. This transfer fee is for each balance you move over to your new account. Review each offer carefully to see what their proposal is.
When your new 0 Balance Transfer Credit Card account is approved, you will be given a line of credit depending on your credit worthiness. You will only be allowed to transfer the balance from the higher interest accounts to within the set credit limit of your new account. Should you make a late payment or go over your line of credit, your introductory offer will be withdrawn
A 0 Balance Transfer Credit Card can be a useful tool in paying down your debt, interest free, if you have a financial plan and stick to it.
