Any credit cards with 0% APR Balance Transfers/Purchases, $0 Fees offers
Hi,
Looked around didn't quite see a thread that addressed this issue directly. I'm looking for available credit card offers that provide the following: 0% APR for Balance Transfers/Purchases $0 Balance Transfer Fees 12 months or greater. I'm planning a large purchase ($25k), have done an AOR to accumulate the appropriate cards and CLs for the purchase to get the signup bonuses, and now would like a card to consolidate all the balances at 0% interest and $0 transfer fees, so I can pay it off over the next year or so. I could just pay the whole thing off, but if they're giving me 12 months to play with $25k, why not right? (And I always bet on black...or red). :) Already have the Slate which offered $0 fees and 0% APR for 15 months and DiscoverIt which offered $0 fees and 0% APR for 12 months. Has anyone experience to close and reapply for a new account to get the same offer on these cards? Thanks in advance for your help! |
Hmmm, no responses.
Perhaps I phrased the question incorrectly? |
Or perhaps it doesn't exist? Banks don't like to give things away completely. Every single balance transfer I've ever seen requires a "transaction fee" if it's 0% interest rate. The only ones I've seen without a "transaction fee" were not 0% interest rate.
But many people don't know if it doesn't exist for sure, they just don't know of one, so probably they're not posting just to tell you "i don't know of one". But that's what I'm dong: I'm posting to say I've done lots of balance transfers over the years, I have never seen one which is 0% interest rate without a "transaction fee" to make up for it, and I presume they don't exist, but i can't be sure. I think there are card offers occasionally with 0% interest on purchases for a limited time after card opening, and I don't think those have fees. But I've never used an offer like that (since it can't be used to consolidate existing loans), so I'm not very familiar with them. |

One exists - Chase Slate. However, the OP says he already has one.

Correct, I do already have the Slate. Just curious if anyone had any experience churning it to refresh the offer (like other cards) for a new balance transfer from other cards? Or perhaps Chase application code will recognize you already have a Chase Slate and deny another application? Thanks again for your advice. |
Are there any cards that have upto 1% balance transfer fees?

Any credit cards with 0% APR Balance Transfers/Purchases, $0 Fees offers
just get a new card that offers 0% intro apr and ms the balance from the old card to the new card. it might take a little effort on your part but its better than paying 3%.

I took advantage of a 1% transfer fee promotion on my Barclaycard US Airways MasterCard this month, with 0% interest for about 18 months. They often have transfer offers of 2% or 3%, but this was the first time I had ever been offered 1%.
|
NFCU often have these offers, but you need to be military to get them. Credit Unions in general a good source for this stuff, so just check all the ones in your local area.

Try the Citi doublecash card. 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers (3% fee) for 15 months.
As mentioned, you'd have to MS the $25k, but with 2% back you'll come out ahead in $s, with real cost being your time and effort. |

How did you find out about it? Email, snail mail, mentioned when you happened to call in, etc? Was this offer on an established card or the initial offer on a new card you obtained recently? Thanks for sharing. Come to think of it, I would rather a bonus 0% purchase APR while they are offering 1.5Xs US/AA miles. But, I would still like the info on the BT. Thanks. |

The most recent offer was no fee BT but with 2.99% APR. It's gone now, too. Hoping to see a revised offer sometime in the future when I log in. If one seems to be in a short term bind and one cannot find a tolerable offer, one might want to minimum spend at 0% to achieve a short term goal. Make sure the utilization of the CL stays at a reasonable ratio, however. |
What does this thread have to do with miles or travel? :confused:
Perhaps OP should be looking on creditboards or somewhere similar? @:-) |
