balance transfer credit card
Thursday, July 24th, 2008balance transfer credit cards If you open a card that is 0% on balance transfers - then when you transfer your 1,500 to that card, you will pay 0% interest. Any purchases you make on that card will not be at 0% - keep that in mind.
For your example on 0% for 9months, that is when you open your card. So if you open it in Jan. Any transfers that you make will have 0% until Sep. After Sep, nothing happens except that your rate will go up to another amount.
In theory, you are able to continually transfer your balance to other cards. So, using the same example, you could transfer your balance again in Sep to another credit card that offers you 0%. HOWEVER, this will adversely affect your credit rating by having multiple accounts open.
I hope this answers your questions!
One more piece of advice, while I can understand that times are tough, you need to try to make more than the monthly minimum payment if you have a “regular interest” credit card. Otherwise, the interest you are accruing will make your balance never go down.
