markber said:Yet another card with no BT fee and 0% APR on BT (only for 6 months though). You are also supposed to get $25 ESPN gift card with the first card use.

ESPN Total Access Visa Card from Washington Mutual / Providian

https://www.providiancard.com/bap/envwa/jumpApp.jsp?offer_id=esp01
I've had 2 of these ESPN cards in my family and I can confirm you don't even need to make a purchase to get the gift card, they just send it about 3 weeks after you get your card.

Wells Fargo Visa Platinum Card has the following terms

Balance Transfer APRs: Introductory APRs range from 0.00% to 5.9% for the first 6 billing periods the account is open.

Balance Transfer Fee: The fee is $0 for the first 30 days the account is open and after that, 3% of the amount of each balance transfer, but not less than $5 or more than $75.

In the best case scenario, you get 0% APR for 6 months and no BT fee. I assume that this should depend on your credit score.

OP, could you please update again? Many CitiCards' 0% transfer fee are not valid anymore as of today, Feb 28.

I am looking for 0% APR for 12 months, and 0% transfer fee, thanks.

It looks like it's Fifth Third. They are mentioned in the Ts&Cs on the application form...and the Privacy Policy and Security Statement links at the bottom of the form pull up pages from the Fifth Third web site.

It looks like Shell credit card from Citibank does not have BT fees for 0% 6-month promo for balance transfers. $20 annual fee is waived for the first year.

OP--thank you for update. Are you finding that they are giving out lower CL's?

turrdog said:I think the BOA NEA card is 12 months at 0% with a BT fee capped at $30. Sweet deal.

I just looked for this and got it. Awesome deal!

I could not use the USBANK Baylor/etc card b/c my balance is on a US bank card, and you cannot transfer between.

I was approved for a higher limit than US Bank and only had to pay the $25 cap BT fee. Not too shabby!

Update: They will also transfer as much of your balance as you want to your checking for $30, and it is at 0%.

With the Wells Fargo Visa Platinum Card, you are not guaranteed to get the 0% (increased from 6 to 9 months). They will approve you but it may be for the 5.9% APR. FYI, you can now transfer any number of balances during the introductory period for no fee.

I have screwed up my 0% for life of balance with Discover. I was late making the required purchase every month by one day at one time but they were kind enough to readjust my APR back to 0%. But then I was late making my minimum payment this year (for just a couple of hours) and although it's for a different reason, they said that they cannot readjust my APR back again to 0%. So much for that. That only lasted a year and I had to pay a BT fee of $75 to get that card. I wish I knew about the autopay feature before.

Oh well, i'll call them again and perhaps they'll reconsider if I threaten to move to a different CC. I found Bank of America's PetRewards® Platinum Plus® Visa® Credit Card. 0% guaranteed for only 6mos but no BT fee. 0% also on cash advance for 6 months. If you're looking for a 0% for 12 months, The only available out there are business cards (from Citi). I don't know how those work do you need to have a business to qualify for them?

PetRewards® Platinum Plus® Visa® Credit Card

0% only good on balance transfers with no cap on 3% fee = ripoff. For example, a $10,000 balance transfer costs you $300. Over 15 months, $10,000 at 2.0 percent interest only earns you $250. So why would anyone take up this offer (unless they were strapped for cash)?

Farm Bureau Bank. Both 0% for 12 months. 3% fee, but max fee of $50. No annual fee.

Can anyone confirm if there is a NO MAX fee on the 0% BT offers from Bank of America? They say there's a 3% fee no less than $10 but does not mention a max.

It the T&C (terms and conditions) don't state a maximum BT fee, then there is no maximum. Most BoA personal cards (except for special offers you might receive, and the NEA Worldpoints Visa IIRC) are now like this.

Thats what I thought too, if they didn't mention it then there's no maximum. But my current BofA card just gave me an offer for 0.00% APR until May 2009 with a 3% fee, max of $90. Just took out $14k, now time to find somewhere to put it

We threatened to close out several Citibank Credit Cards we have. In order to "save the customer account" they gave us a 1.9% life of credit line rate and a 3% Bal.Transfer fee (capped at $75).

The kicker/sweetener was the fact that they gave us close to a $30K credit line and transferred it all to our checking account for the one time BT fee of $75. We can now take the money and pay off most of our credit cards (and avoid the usual BT fee for each credit card). Pretty good deal overall.
