0% balance transfer credit cards will not last
Shine india monthly magazine Have you ever been attracted to a credit card because it promises you an
outstanding interest rate that seems just too good to be true? Most of us have
at some stage jumped for one of these attractive offers. There are a growing
number of credit card providers out there that will offer you 0% deals on
either balance transfers or purchases, and sometimes they just seem too good to
resist. Particularly if you have a large outstanding credit card balance that
you are currently paying a lot of interest on, these offers will be very
tempting. In fact, many 0% balance transfer offers will save you hundreds of
pounds on interest that you would otherwise have had to pay on your credit card
balance. But no matter how attractive such offers may appear at the time, you
should only ever take on another credit card if you have taken the time to
review your finances and are satisfied that it is the right financial move for
you at this time. To look at a typical
example, suppose you have one thousand pounds outstanding on a credit card that
charges 10% apr. This means that over the course of a year, this balance will
cost you 100 pounds in interest charges. Now suppose you find a credit card
that offers you 0% on balance transfers for six months. Well it is pretty
obvious that 0% is better than 10 and if you were to take up this offer,
assuming there are no balance transfer fees, then how much will you have saved
over the six month interest free period? The answer is 50 pounds. However, what
will the interest rate revert to once the interest free period has come to an
end? This is something you should be thinking about before you opt for the
credit card, and not when the interest free period is about to expire and
everything is more urgent. Suppose, for the sake of our example that the
interest rate reverts to a rate of 25%. This means that over the next six
months you will pay £125 in interest shine india monthly
