Credit Card debt question

Those that have credit card debt (which includes us- home purchases)... what cards have you found to be the best?

Have you transferred your debt to a 0% APR credit card? If so, which was the best one you've found for the longest period (typically they're 12 months right)?

We use AMEX for everything. It's linked with Costco and we bet either 1 or 1.5% back at the end of the year which equals one huge check from Costco.

Re: Credit Card debt question

I've transferred balances to 15 month cards - it all depends on the deal you are offered. bankrate.com has some good offers going - you can apply for whatever is right for you, or wait to get something in the mail.

Right now I have a 0% card through Bank of America that we used for DH's last semester of Grad school. 0% instead of 7.25%.

same here. Chase gave me 0% for something like 12-18 months and no balance transfer fees. now i use my blue cash AmEx for everything and i am up to about $600 back for the year, and still going! AmEx does charge interst so that one I pay off in full each month.

I currently don't have one at 0% but, the best ones I've had in the past have been through Chase, 0% for a certain period of time on purchases and balance transfers(usually 12-15 months) and free balance transfers at any time.
