I really feel like I am getting somewhere on a balance when every month I see it go down, where with a regular credit card, the payments only cover the interest and a small amount of the debt. It's depressing when you pay $100 and your balance only went down $30 or so.
I have read about this before but I was concerned about the interest rate on the small charges. What is the interest rate for those? Doesn't it add up after awhile since they don't apply any of your payment to those charges but to the 0 balance instead? Please email me more info as I am curious if this would be better than my 3.99% for the life of the balance. catladyfour4@yahoo.com
