Choosing best balance transfer depends on circumstances

It's obvious that there are huge differenes in credit card offers these days. Some offer a balance transfer rate of 0% ranging anywhere from 6-12 months at a time. Others will feature longer time to enjoy the lower rates if you agree to a higher interest rate,which is helpful because this rate is usually lower that what you are currently paying on credit card balances.
Consumers who contemplate a credit card balance transfer of a high dollar amount to help cut down interest that they owe will often decide that stretching out their repayment period at a higher interest intro rate makes sense over a short-term 0% offer.
You've got to get aware of what fees you will get charged too. Lately, balance transfer fees have risen. It wasn't long ago that common fees charges amounted to 3% of the total transferred; now, it seems many credit card companies are charging upwards of 5%.
