5/28/08. All lists were updated.
12/14/08 update: IberiaBank cards were added to the list. List "0%/low APR credit card BT offers sorted by profit due to investing 0% credit to a high-interest (5% APY) savings account" was added to this thread.
11/21/07 update: I have updated the list of credit cards sorted by the profit/savings due to a BT from a card with high APR (18%) to a low APR.
UPDATE: The list in the OP was updated on 11/7/07.
8/22/7. The list in the OP was updated on 8/22/07.
Updated on 5/29/07. The script still can not use user-submitted info. Please read this thread to find some good credit cards not included in the list.
Updated on 3/26/07
Considering the possibility of getting funds from cc using FOREX, I thought it would be useful to have a separate list of credit cards with promo APR for purchases. I have made such a list and appended it to the original list of cards with promo APR for BTs. I still can not use info about good cards submitted by members here or elsewhere...sorry... this is on my to-do list. And I do not have time right now to update Quick summary and wiki.
Update 3/23/07. I made an attempt here to combine card terms on the list to calculate and sort cards by the profit/savings due to a BT from a card with high APR (18%) to a low APR (cards on the list). I hope the new list is somewhat more useful because sorting the cards by the amount of saved money is more relevant. The list in OP was not changed.
Update on 3/22/07. About ten BofA credit cards were added. Unfortunately, most of them do not have an upper limit for balance transfer fee.
Warning on 3/8/07.
Since CardOffers.com does not make the difference between "no BT fee during a promo period" and "no BT fee when BT is requested with application", some of the cards (e.g. Discover cards) listed below with "no BT fee" apparently offer BT with no fees only if BT is submitted during the application. It will take me some time to fix the lists. Please read card terms on the card website before you apply if you need a card with no fees for BTs submitted during the promo period!
Update on 3/7/07
I added new column, Max BT fee, to the table in the OP. I have not changed the list of Personal credit cards in the Quick Summary and in the wiki article because I need to make sure somehow that I do not delete entries made by other members.
I also added lists of business and student credit cards
Update on 3/6/07:
FW member mase found that some of these cards (e.g. Citibank one's) have fees for promo BTs when applied for from bank website (see below). Since the card terms were taken from a CardOffers.com template, I assume that you will be able to apply for a card with these exact terms from CardOffers.com website.
OP:
I made a list of credit cards with 0% APR/low rate promo offers sorted by rate, length of promo period, BT fee and annual fee. I do not have a list linked directly to application pages. This list with links is available on this external page. The list does not include all possible offers and short-term offers that are often posted on FW. I am working on making the list more complete and including user-submitted deals but it is not an easy task for the amount of spare time I have.
Sorting order:
1) Promo rate
2) Promo period
3) Annual fee
4) Fee for promo BT
5) Maximal fee for promo BT (not shown)
6) Purchase APR (not shown)
7) Bank name
