    Balance transfers can help lower your interest rate, but don't delude yourself into thinking it makes your debt okay. Pay it off as fast as possible.

      Pay your highest interest rate cards first. The thing is that if you have multiple cards with outstanding balances that you can't pay off monthly, transferring some or all of those to another card is not really the answer to your problems -+ you need to manage your budget better -- literally write down every penny you spend for 90 days, even things like the $1 bottle of water you bought after filling your tan so you can see EXACTLY where you spend your money. Keep each dollar in a category and multiply each column/category by 4 to see how much you spend each year for different things.. People are often surprised to find out they're spending $500-600 a year at Starbucks and $300-400 on individual bottles of water. See where you can save, ie buy a 24 bottle case of water for $4 on your next grocery trip and pay just 15 cents for each bottle. If you want cold water, freeze a few and toss one in your bag or car in the morning to be ready for lunch. I know we all already know these things. We just need to start doing it. IF you decide to transfer your balances, please CUT up all of your other cards. It's just too easy to put a dinner here a pair of shoes there on a card that has a zero balance. These purchases will add up!

    You forgot to calculate the fact that even if someone can't pay the full sum within the 18 month period, they can still absolutely eat away a sizeable chunk of the debt, leaving a much smaller amount leftover that can actually accrue interest, and also accrues interest at a slower rate.
    The average APR still hovers around 24%, with a debt total of $5000 it would take 3 years to pay it off with a payment of $200 a month. This would mean you would also pay approx $5000 of interest.
    With an APR of 0% for 18 months, we can use a simple calculation with the same payment period of $200x18 = $3600. Now the new total we have is $5000 - $3600 = $1400. Calculating the same average interest means you are paying the $1400 balance off with your regular $200 monthly payment for only EIGHT MONTHS with a total interest of only approximately $124.
    The math is quite solid, SO LONG AS YOU STICK WITH YOUR PLAN LIKE GLUE.

    I never thought I’d needed to do balance transfers when I first got into the credit card game. But when I couldn’t find work for six months I suddenly found myself relying on my credit cards to make ends meet. Grateful to have learned about balance transfers even though I didn’t feel the need to learn because it ended up saving me ~25% in interest which I thankfully have not had to pay. Now I just have to pay those balances off so I can finally breathe again because even though it’s 0% interest until next year I don’t want to get into the habit of carrying those balances because it’ll come back to bite me in my bottom.

    Watch out for hidden fees on balance transfer usually 3% of total balance transfer or $10 whichever is greater. So Let's say if you have $4000 to transfer the balance from one cc to another now you could be paying 3% of 4000 = $120 but you will save on the total Balance transfer APR which is zero.

    I have a Discover It card with a 17.49% interest rate. I have two other cards with 23.xx% and 27.xx%. Since the Discover card is new I get 15 months 0% interest for purchases and balance transfers. I plan on moving the debt from those higher interest cards to the Discover card. By the time my 15 months is up I will have paid off more than half of what I moved over. The rest will be under a much better interest rate. It's also possible that in 15 months I can get another card that has 0% interest for balance transfers and finish paying off the rest without adding interest.

    The first rule is to not get into debt period. But balance transfers are a great way to pay off debt. But one has to be extremely disciplined to pay the balance off before the promotional period ends. Hit that card quickly. Otherwise back to high interest, and just ruined the point of the "balance transfer". Put this card away till you pay off the balance. They are hoping one will default.

    Transfer the money, make the monthly payment the same as when you were paying interest on it. Pay as much extra as you can afford. Don't buy anything on credit untill everything is paid off. Put everything on auto pay. Keep track of you normal monthly expenses . Soon you will be out of debt.

    Imo chase is a great balance transfer option. I referred my mom to chase with my referral link. I got 100 dollars she got the freedom flex so she gets 0% 15 months plus 5% back on groceries and the 200 back on 500 spent which shell use to pay down the balance transfer faster. She was weary of rotating caterogy but since I have that card I'll remind her to opt in. She was bummed you can't get 5% at Costco gas but overall is happy with chase.

    I have $30k in credit card debt distributed into several cards. My question is, can I balance transfer to one card then say the 18 months are coming up and I haven’t payed off everything, can I do another balance transfer to continue my 0% interests payments and just keep chaining cards until I pay off my $30k debt?

    I literally just applied for a HELOC. I really didn't want to do that but it's 20k of debt. I think I want to do the balance transfer for the largest debt. This gives me less anxiety than having a heloc.

      Yes, leave it open. Just put the card away and don’t use it anymore unless it offers a good opportunity down the road. Basically just leave it alone.

    question. say you racked up 5500 on a card and you got the rewards, you then decide to transfer that debt to a 0% card. If you go points on either card, would all those points be forfeit because I'm seeing on every card, they restrict rewards for balance transfers. but idk if the restriction is on the card you made the purchase with or the card you transferred to.

  • @shavezwilliams

    I had a question. Suppose I take a loan of $2500 on the new balance credit card and pay the whole amount in one year rather than wait 18 months to pay..... Does that mean that since I've cleared out the whole amount I can start a fresh new credit balance again with a 0 interest with 18 months again?

    • @cdf8821
      @cdf8821 Рік тому

      Hi, No you cannot. However, sometimes (depending on the card) they will give you a new balance transfer option. It's not automatic though just because you paid off the loan. Hope this helps!!

    I decided to do a balance transfer in order to quickly close out an account with bad APR and clear out another line so I could essentially use it as a food card.
    They said I was approved for a pretty high limit (I have good credit) but for some reason it looks like I'm just getting a new card, even though I mentioned it was a balance transfer (and even entered balances to transfer from different accounts) yet it just looks like I got a new card. Do I initiate a transfer onto a 0% interest card AFTER I get the card, or does the transfer start before I get it?

  • @olgacasillas7110
    @olgacasillas7110 Рік тому +2

    By doing the balance transfer from one credit card to another would you lose your credit card from where you had the debt or will it go back to zero owed and you can use again?

    I have a question if anyone can help me out. I’m in about 20th of debt. I was able to open a Citi credit card with 0 APR for 12 months and bank transfer up to 21 months. I have two cards I own on and my initial credit limit is 8700 for a bank transfer. The two cards I have are more than that so not sure how to make it work without getting denied the bank transfer.

      You type in the amount that you want to transfer from the other card. As long as the credit limit on the new card has enough room to cover the whole balance of the old card.
