You should always be aware of cards that offer lower interest rates then the one you have now. Transferring balances from one card to another to take advantage of low introductory rates can assist you when you pay down debt as long as you have a very strong credit rating. The strong credit rating is an absolute necessity as all of these transfers and the inquiries that go with them can knock a few points off of your credit rating.
