Low interest credit cards and tons more
The one exception is promotional offers in which you are invited to roll over debt from another credit card, and the low interest rate will apply to the transferred amount for as long as it takes you to pay the loan off. If you are already trying to pay off a large sum on another credit card at regular interest rates, and you do not plan to use the new credit card for any other purchases after you have rolled over the balance, then this type of credit card promotion can be an inexpensive and uncomplicated way to pay off a large debt at a low interest rate. However, any charges you make to the card after the introductory period have a much higher interest rate, and any payments you make to the credit card company are applied to your lowest interest rate balances first. You might not be able to start paying off the higher interest charges for months or years, during which they will accrue a healthy sum of interest for the credit card company. Consider this type of promotion only when you want to transfer a large debt onto a card with a lower interest rate, not when you are shopping for a credit card for daily use.
