Can I actually keep transfering debt to another credit card endlessly?

What is the catch with these credit card offers claiming 0% APR balance transfer for one year?honda finance

The main catch is that if you charge anything else to that card (a new purchase other than the balance transfer(s)), it will be subject to the standard interest rate for the card. Whenever you pay your minimum payment each month, it will go towards the 0% interest balance, so you will owe interest on the new purchase. None of your payments will go to the new purchase until the 0% balance is fully paid off.

Also, check the fine print, because there is often a 3% to 5% transfer fee up front. Transfer $1000, and you have to pay a $50 fee, etc. This is the equivalent to four or five months interest on a low rate card. I have seen offers from Discover for free transfers, but the ones I get from Visa or MasterCard have the transaction fee.

And, it is 0% interest, but you still must pay the minimum payment. If you miss one, the interest will go up to a higher rate than even the standard rate on the card. And when that shows up on your credit report, you won%26#039;t find another card to transfer at 0% interest. Some card issuers will raise your rate if you are late on ANY card from any company, so check the fine print on that, too.

Good luck!

I have no professional experience with this, so I%26#039;m just sharing my POV. It seems like they figure if you%26#039;re carrying a balance big enough to want to transfer, that you won%26#039;t get it paid off in the time frame of the introductory rate so they%26#039;ll get the interest off you later.|||1) There is no catch. They are just trying to steal you from your current Credit Card Company.

2) Yes (That is exactly what most millionaires did before they were millionaires)
