Lowering Your Interest Rates

It’s the truth. Everyone needs a bargain. Also, noone likes to find out they’ve overpaid. It’s definately true when you’re buying, and it’s also true when you’re borrowing. Everyone wnats the best rate of interst possible The concern on your creditcard seems too high, it won’t just lower on its own (unless, of course, you have a variable-rate card and rates in general are dropping). If you’re paying too much in interest, you need to take immediate action.

Some creditcard offers are just so good that your current credit card company may not be able to beat the offer, no matter how amazing your record. If that’s the case, you may want to consider moving your balance over to a new card.

There are a couple areas of caution in going this route. First, introductory rates are just that: introductory. Make sure you’re aware of the duration of the introductory period and what the rate will be afterward. Measure that against your current credit card’s best offer and the difference may not be as large as you first thought.

Second, if you do get that new card, make sure you close the account on the old card. The best intentions can be fouled by the lure of having two cards at your disposal. The low rate on the new card won’t help much if you run the balance back up on your old card. Being overextended is much worse for your financial future than too a high a rate on your credit card.
