Comparing interest rates on cc's
Sun, 02-19-2006 - 9:59pm
Hi, everyone. Well, after spending much of the day on the internet researching low interest rate cc's, types of cc's to transfer balance to, etc. , I finally did it! My Discover was charging 18.99% interest! DH just about had a fit. So, I applied for a Capital One card to transfer the balance to. I chose the 6.9% fixed rather than the 0% for one year, as they can raise rates after that time. Other news: DH is going to buy a new SUV (well, sorta new---dealer demo thing). He researched on edmunds.com, different rates for financing, and got a blank check for 6% financing to whatever dealer he chooses. My next thing is ongoing research for dental plans. I know I can get a better deal than what I have. I am sooo happy you all gave me the information and nudge to do this and get out of that 19% nightmare! Whiz.
