Unless you are paying 0% now, yes.|||If you have no transfer fee, and zero interest for 12 months, it would be worth it to transfer, but unless you plan to pay it off, it may cost you more if the rate goes up and you do not transfer back to another card.|||Absolutely. The biggest killer on any credit card is the outrageous interest they charge. Just ensure that you understand and read the conditions that apply. With all of the competition these days for credit cards you should easily be able to find a replacement.

The attached link is an excellent article on 0% credit cards. I hope this information is helpful to you.|||Careful. Most cards have a universal default provision. That means that they can jack your rate to the default rate (usually around 30%) if they see something they don%26#039;t like on your credit report. Even if it doesn%26#039;t involve that company, they can still jack it. Best to pay it off and not to carry credit card debt. If you do the transfer you will save money for the 12 months, as long as you are careful, and they don%26#039;t jack your rate.|||I%26#039;ve done this myself. If you otherwise have good credit, and especially if this is with an account already open, then this can be a really good idea. If you want to minimize the effect on your credit, keep the balance below 30% of the credit limit on the account.

Be careful - even if you set up an auto-payment to the account, the creditor can change your due date before the 12 months is over, forcing your payment to be late. And once late - even one day late - your interest rate can skyrocket to 30% overnight.

Also, don%26#039;t use the card for any purchases. Many cards set up the account so that you have to have all purchases paid down (at a much higher interest rate) before any of your payments are credited against the balance transfer.

If you manage it right, however, you can even make money on the deal by borrowing at 0% and depositing the balance at a 5% return in a money market account. Good luck!|||this is a con job the banks love .

Credit card companies are notorious for cheating people out of their money. But if the deal is legit and you have read the fine print, then of course go for it. But be very careful.|||It is definitely worth it if you can pay off what ever amount in that 12th month. If not, then you need to see what the interest rate will go up to after that.

You do not want the interest rate to go up above what you are paying now or it will cost you more in the long run.
