I enjoy optimizing my credit card rewards, but I would ignore points or airline miles if I was carrying a balance at 15%+ interest! In fact, the that companies are charging higher interest rates because of their generous rewards programs. If you are ready to pay down that debt, consider transferring your balance to another issuer at a lower rate. Shopping around can save you thousands in interest.
You’ll want the best combination of the longest 0% APR period and the lowest balance transfer fees. Having no balance transfer fee is obviously best, but if you need to spread out your payments, it may be better to pick a longer term with a modest balance transfer fee. For example, if you are paying 20% APR, that’s like paying 1.66% on your balance every month.
