Was first offered 7.99% for 6 months, then 5.99% for six months, and then 0% for 12 months. The specialist wouldn't or couldn't offer any fixed rate options but suggested taking the short-term low rate and calling back in a few months. As always, you may have better luck with companies you have a long-term relationship with. There seems to be more competition and better interest rates to be had.
Paid off one of mine last month, phone rang and they offered me a 1.9% until 2013....I said wow, when I had money on it, you wouldn't talk to me...Sure, go ahead...I'm not using that card anymore and will wait for them to offer me 0% before I think of using it again!!!!!
