Choosing the Best Low Interest Credit Card
With so many low interest credit cards on offer, how do you
know which one to choose? Here is a brief guide for choosing your
low interest credit card.
The Chase Manhattan MasterCard is a great choice, for those
with an excellent credit rating. It has an introductory APR of
0%, for up to six months, which is a great option if you plan on
transferring your existing balances to your new account. If you
currently bank at Chase Manhattan, you can earn additional
rewards with this card, like a longer APR term. If you do a lot
of travelling, you will like this MasterCard, because it has the
Chase Travel Reward program, which lets you earn 1 point for
every $1.00 that you spend and gives you automatic worldwide
travel accident insurance, up to $500,000.00 and offers you a
discount at Hertz Car Rentals.
If you are looking for a straightforward, low interest credit
card, the Blue Card from American Express is a good choice. Like
the Chase Manhattan MasterCard, it also has a great low interest
rate of 0% for up to 15 months, for those who qualify. The
advantage to having this card, however, is that is imbedded with
a Smart Chip, to help you track unauthorized purchases and it
allows you to opt to carry a balance throughout the year or pay
the full amount monthly, like a traditional American Express
card.
Another low interest credit card package which will give you a
low interest rate is the Chase Travels Reward MasterCard, which
is perfect for those who travel frequently. In addition to its
introductory low-rate, it offers a low interest rate for balance
transfers. It has a generous credit limit of up to $50,000.00,
for qualified users and will reward you with 1 point for every
dollar that you spend with your card, which can be redeemed at
various hotels and restaurants.
There are many great credit card offers which will give you a
consistently low interest rate, all you have to do is apply!
