If I created a credit card with 1% interest would you apply?  |
| |
| This discussion goes along with my previous post, "What would you do if you could be debt free?" If you didn't respond to that one, jump on over and let me know. This one isn't part two but it goes along with that thought. Imagine if you could dump all your consumer debt onto a credit card with 1% interest, would that sound enticing? Do you see any drawbacks, kinks, or pitfalls? I'm willing to coax you or deter you, sell me why or why not. | | | | | |

| | Having learnt the hard way, I would rather have the option of the debt consolidated into a single one of 1% rather than have in the form of a credit card. The credit card would give me option of easily using those funds again that I have paid back with difficulty. Now unless I am that determined not to touch it , I would find myself still stuck in the loop. | | | | | | |

| | Yes I would. That way I could actually pay down my debt in a reasonable amount of time. But on the other hand since it would be easier to pay down I might tend to use it more. But I would also be able to manage it better. Sign me up!! | | | | | | |

| | I would be first in line to apply. I have so much debt and it's hard to pay down because we are raked over the coals with interest. It's terrible credit card companies make a fortune off us working class people. If it weren't for credit most people would starve to death! | | | | | | |

| | Yes, even if it was only for a limited time period, it would be worth doing a balance transfer to that card and then I would try to pay if off more quickly. I have done this several times when I have been offered lower interest, or 0% interest on a balance transfer for a short period or until the balance has cleared. When I have cleared all the debt from a credit card and have not used that card for a period of time, I often get special offers of low or zero percent to get me to start using it again. If it's only for a limited period I will pay it off before that period ends so I don't have to pay the higher rate of interest after the offer has ended. | | | | | | |

| | Well all my debts now are 0% as all the interest has been stopped and I just pay them all off to get rid of it so I would have to say no for that reason! However it it was that I was paying interest then yes I would transfer onto a 1% card! x | | | | | | |

| | Where do I sign up? LOL I would take the offer in a heartbeat, as long as the 1% interest applied to all my debt until it was paid off. I see no downside to this offer, unless, like all credit offers, there was a hidden catch in there somewhere. I would certainly have to read the fine print carefully. | | | | | | |

| | The fine print is always called the red herring. That is the most stinkiest, smelliest fish alive. No catch, 1%. | | | |

| | In terms of credit cards, it wouldn't make much difference what the interest rate was because I dont put anymore onto the card than i can afford to pay off in full by the due date. However, if I could put my mortgage onto a 1% interest rate that would be well worth while!! | | | | | | |

| | Sorry, no mortgage. You wouldn't be able to write off the interest. | | | |

| | Well git, if I had bad credit I would say yes. But people with good credit can always get 0% balance transfer offers, so I woudl try to get the 0% offers. One question about your offerm can I dump my mortgage payment into it? Now 1% for a mortgage payment, that would be good! | | | | | | |
