Intro APR period
Know exactly how long the promotional rate lasts and what rate applies after it ends.
CREDIT CARDS
0% Credit Cards
Understand when a 0% intro APR or balance-transfer offer can reduce interest — and where fees or deadlines can erase the savings.
ZERORATES PRINCIPLE
Compare the total cost, not just the headline rate.
APR, fees, term length, incentives, and timing can change which offer is actually cheaper.
WHAT TO LOOK AT
0% Credit Cards: the numbers that matter
Balance-transfer fee
A 0% rate can still carry an upfront fee. Compare that fee with the interest you would otherwise pay.
Payoff deadline
A promotional offer works best when your payoff plan ends before the intro period does.
