Pay no balance transfer fees for 60 days when opening a Union Bank Platinum Visa credit card. Plus pay no interest for 15 months on the amount transferred.
After the promotional period ends, if cardholders haven’t paid off the balance in full, they will be billed interest on remaining amounts at APRs anywhere from 8.49% to 19.99% depending on creditworthiness.
Generally carrying a credit card balance is a terrible long-term practice. However under some circumstances it makes sense, such snaring a great deal at half-price (50% off) and paying the purchase off over time. 50% – 8.49% saves the buyer 31.51% when spread over a year. Just be sure to pay off any balances as soon as possible.
