0% APR

 | Jul 16,2007


It is becoming increasingly popular to find credit cards that offer 0 percent APRs, whether it is for the first year or first several months of owning the card. And if you're currently in the market for a new credit card, then you should settle for nothing less than a card that offers a 0 percent APR. Cards offering 0 percent APRs will offer you the opportunity to quickly build a balance and pay it off with no interest.

0 Percent APR Credit Cards With Rewards

To many, it might seem that a credit card with a 0 percent APR would be a reward in and of itself, yet credit card companies are being forced to compete with one another for business. On top of offering a 0 percent APR as introductory rates, they now offer some sort of credit card rewards programs, whether it's airline miles or credit card points that can be redeemed for cash or gift cards. If you take the time to shop around and compare 0 percent APR offers that are available, you'll find a card that fits your lifestyle and your budget.

Qualifying for A 0 Percent APR

Qualifying for a 0 percent APR is dependent on your credit history, your income and how you plan to use your credit card. If you can take full advantage of your 0 percent APR introductory rate, spending as much as possible on your credit card while still being able to pay off the balance immediately, you stand to offer the credit card company an excellent reason to offer you an excellent APR when your introductory period has expired. With excellent credit and an excellent record with a card company, you also stand in a position to negotiate for the lowest possible APR. If you happen to have your card through a financial institution, they may possibly offer you a 0 percent APR in hopes that you'll take advantage of their additional financial services.
