Five top tips for credit card balance transfers

Playing the balance transfer game could save you a fortune in credit card interest rate payments, provided you stick to a few basic rules. Read on for our top five credit card balance transfers tips.

1. Know how long the 0% offer lasts

When you transfer your credit card balance to a new card, always make a note of when the introductory 0% interest rate ends. When the period is up, the credit card will revert to a more expensive standard rate.

If you haven't paid off your balance by the time the 0% period is up, it might be a good idea to switch to another 0% balance transfer deal.

Start looking for your new card about six weeks before your deal is due to end to allow plenty of time to arrange your next transfer.

2. Double check the rate

The rate you see advertised isn't necessarily the rate you will get. Credit card providers only have to give the typical APR they advertise to around 50% of successful applicants – this means that if you’ve had credit problems in the past, you may be given a higher APR.

Check that the rate you see advertised is the rate you will actually get to avoid a shock when your first statement arrives.

3. See what the 0% rate covers

Credit cards with long 0% rates on balance transfers often have much shorter 0% deals on purchases – for example, a card with 0% on transfers for over 20 months may only give 0% on spending for three or six months.

Make sure you know what rates you’ll be paying on other credit card use, not just transfers.

4. Don't spend on your 0% balance transfer card

Balance transfer credit cards are always best for easing the pain of existing debt – start spending on the card and you risk ending up in deeper trouble.

The best advice would be not to spend on a card after transferring a balance to it. Instead, take out a separate card with a long 0% on purchases deal, or look for a card offering a good 0% deal on both purchases and transfers.

5. Check the balance transfer fee

Most credit card providers charge a balance transfer fee of around 3% when you shift your debt from one card to another, though this varies between cards and providers.

Consider whether paying a fee might outweigh the benefits of a 0% deal - transferring your balance to a card with a low APR could be cheaper in the long run.
