Fee-Free Balance Transfer Credit Cards Are Now The Most Popular Choice at The BalanceTransfer.cc Website
Transferring credit card balances is all the rage these days, and it's no wonder. The interest rate charged when a credit card balance isn't paid in full -- also known as the annual percentage rate (APR) -- is invariably tied to the U.S. Prime Rate, and the Prime Rate has been on the rise since the summer of 2004. Hence the popularity of credit card balance transfers. Many credit card companies and banks offer what is basically a vacation from paying interest on credit card debt that can last from 3 to 12 months or more -- that is, if you're willing to transfer your existing credit card balance from a competitor. In fact, some credit card companies are so keen to get your business that they'll not only give you an interest-free period on transferred balances, but they'll also forgo interest charges on new credit card purchases for up to 12 months to boot.
