What is the downfall of interest free credit cards?
Your assumption that there are potential pitfalls to these seemingly ideal credit cards is absolutely correct. First of all, offers for interest-free credit cards are extended indiscriminately, which means that you do not necessarily qualify for the card simply because you received an application in the mail. In fact, to be approved for most interest-free credit cards, you must have stellar credit and a highly dependable payment history. If you do get approved for one of these cards, make sure to read the terms very carefully. The zero-percent interest rate is always an introductory offer that expires after a certain period of time, usually somewhere between three months and one year. After that, you will be charged an annual percentage rate, as with any other credit card. Some of these cards offer zero-percent interest only on balance transfers, not purchases or cash advances. Also, if you make even one late payment, you will usually lose your zero-percent rate and may be subject to paying a highly inflated interest rate, in addition to any late fees. Even though you may receive zero-percent interest on balance transfers and cash advances, there may be fees associated with these services. If you are extremely diligent about paying your bills on time and have the ability to pay off the balance of any transfers you make within the time period of the zero-percent introductory offer, an interest-free credit card may work to your advantage. However, any mistakes or oversights could end up putting you further into debt.
