List of 0% APR Credit Card Offers

General

During the current high-interest environment, 0% APR offers can be useful for cashing out and parking the cash in a high-yield savings account or CD. These are typically found with new credit card approvals, and occasionally banks will send them out for existing customers as well.

Some readers asked for a list of 0% APR cards, and so I’ve put what I found (some from the comments a recent post where I discussed using a 0% APR offer). Hopefully readers will add and update this list as things evolve. I’ll try adding below any 0% offer of 12 months or longer. Feel free to discuss offers and strategies in the comments below.

Below we’ve listed all cards we’ve found which have 0% APR on purchases and/or balance transfers for 12 months or more. If you use the 0% purchases option there won’t be any fees. Most 0% balance transfer offers have an initial fee, typically it’s 3-5%. We’ve listed below a few options with no fee at all.

We only list cards which have a completely fee-free option: either 0% APR on purchases or 0% on balance transfers with no initial balance transfer fee.

Caveats

A few caveats:

  1. Be sure to always double-check that there is no initial transaction fee (typically it’s 3%), especially for balance transfers – even when it’s 0% there’s often an initial 3% fee with those.
  2. Always be sure to check the details well before applying on the actual card application page. Offers are constantly changing, and even the same card might have differing APR offers, depending on the card version or the offer landing page.
  3. With some banks you only get a small window (say, 60 days) where you can make a purchase or balance transfer to trigger the 0% APR offer. With other issuers, you get the full offer window (e.g. 12 months) to make the purchase or transfer and still get the 0% APR offer.
  4. And finally, be sure to always make the minimum payments. And be sure to pay off the balance entirely before the promotional period ends! 

A few other general notes:

  1. Many banks will allow you to reallocate your credit lines. If you have a card with 0% APR, you might easily be able to shift over credit from a different card to increase your credit line on the 0% card. See this post for a bank-by-bank break down.
  2. If you carry a balance on a personal credit card it can have a major negative impact on your credit score.
  3. If you carry a balance on a business credit card it typically will not affect your personal credit score. See this post where we break this down bank-by-bank.
  4. If you quickly rack up a lot of debt on your credit report or with a given bank, it might make them nervous about bust-out fraud and can potentially result in shutdowns.
  5. Even when done slowly, some banks might be less likely to approve your future credit card applications.
  6. If you are someone who struggles with debt, playing this APR game is probably not best for you.

A while back, someone asked if the balance transfer offer for the Edward Jones Biz Mastercard could be used to pay off someone else’s card balance. I just did so, so yes, it’s possible.

Nice datapoint! What about getting a second card while still holding one? They gave me a real sucky credit limit :(.

That I can’t tell you. But my guess is it’s probably not too likely since you’ll be bumping up against the total credit limit Elan Financial (the card issuer) is willing to give you unless you state more income than when you applied for your first one.

 Chuck Chuck, a few BMO cards to add now that interest is interesting 🙂
BMO Personal Platinum (NOT Plat Rewards): 15mo 0% Purchases / BT 15mo 0% with 3% Fee https://www.bmo.com/en-us/main/personal/credit-cards/bmo-platinum-credit-card/

BMO Business Platinum (NOT Business Plat Rewards): 18mo 0% Purchases / BT 18mo 0% with 4% Fee https://www.bmo.com/en-us/main/business-banking/credit-cards/platinum/

BMO Business Platinum Rewards: 9mo 0% Purchases / BT 9mo 0% with 4% Fee; *WELCOME BONUS* $500 with $5k in 3mo; Earns 5% on Internet & Phone, 4% Office Supplies & Printing, 3% Gas, 2% Dining https://www.bmo.com/en-us/main/business-banking/credit-cards/platinumrewards/

Very clunky business payment system with separate login that can only be setup once first bill arrives, no auto-pay, etc – but worthwhile for me with bonus and 9mo 0%.

I’m not sure. I do, as they frequently have SUBs, however they’re a terrible bank.

Do you know if BMO Biz cards report to personal credit?

Does anyone know when the 0% APR clock starts for balance transfers, in general? Does the promotion 0% APR period start ticking as soon as the card is opened? Or is it from the date of the balance transfer?

Edward Jones 0% fee instead of 3% on balance transfers first 60 days + 0% BT APR for 12mo… Any idea how long that’s going to run for?

Deeper in the comments there have been at least two decent threads on this card. Highlights: A direct link that bypasses the need for an EJ account and tip to select at least 1mo for EJ relationship in the app to keep from getting bounced out.

Instant business card approval today for 16k and EJ offers up to 92% of your limit as a balance transfer, which I specified interest in using during the application.

Did you fill out the balance transfer info during the application? I did but got approved for a CL less than the total of the BT amounts. THey said they’ll send a letter, but wonder how they manage which balances to pay, or if I have to confirm first

Craig

I did fill that out but I had a single account that I was looking to move the balance of. Data point that with EJ’s 92% of limit as a BT is that I also did not receive the full amount desired for a BT in my app. Recommend future applicants pad to at least account for the 92% of limit threshold.

thanks for the tips. Is it that hard to open some kind of EJ account so you can really have a relationship for one month?

just poking around the website it seems like the problem might be you can’t open a simple business account online. besides credit card.

Did you have the funds transferred to pay off another card/creditor or were you able to have the funds transferred to your own account? I’m interested in getting the funds in my own account so that I can use them at my discretion. Do you or anybody else have any info on how to do this?

Craig

EJ cut a check directly to my credit card for the balance transfer. I didn’t take possession of the funds nor was I involved in the balance transfer beyond providing the account number and address.

Chase rejected me – first time ever. I’ve had 13 Chase cards, 2/24. Closed a few Chase cards, rejected at reconsideration. “Too much unused credit, too many cards, not enough business income.”
US Bank gave instant approval on a 2nd Triple Cash Rewards, and BofA on Biz Unlimited Cash Rewards. 12 months no interest on the US Bank; 9 months on the BofA.
Cash sitting in Poppy Bank at 5.35%.

I wouldn’t have known to do any of this without DoC and helpful posters. Thank you.

 Am looking for the best 0% interest w/ 0% transfer fee card currently out there. An extra plus would be 18 mths no interest and if they offer a bonus as well (haven’t seen any). Either a business or consumer card, I’d just use for business.
