Commentary: Credit Cards 0% interest; Read the fine print
"Everyone gets credit card offers in the mail. Transfer your balance and get 0% interest for 6-12 months if you activate the card, and you can transfer the balance of any existing card. Read the fine print. On many, new purchases often get charged high interest and cannot be paid off until the transfer balance is paid off first. Also, some attach charges, as much as $50 for the transfer. Late fees and penalties can raise the rate to 20% or more. Make sure to look at your statements closely and ask questions before you sign-up," stated Sonja Rudd in Wall Street News Alert's daily commentary continued at: http://www.WallStreetNewsAlert.com.
