Поширені запитання

Can balance transfers improve my credit score during credit repair?

Yes, by dropping utilization below 30% and building on-time payments, scores often rise 30–70 points in months—but expect a short-term 5–10 point dip from the inquiry.

What's the best 0 APR balance transfer promo length?

Aim for 18–21 months with fees under 3%; shorter suits small debts, longer big ones if you can pay off fully.

Do balance transfer fees make them not worth it?

Not if you save more in interest—a 3% fee on $5,000 ($150) vs. $1,200 yearly at 24% APR? Clear win with a payoff plan.

Can I use a balance transfer card with bad credit?

Rarely—need 670+ FICO. Alternatives: personal loans or secured cards for fair/bad credit.

What happens if I don't pay off before the promo ends?

Balance hits 18–27%+ APR immediately, often higher than originals. Refinance to a loan ASAP.

Should I make new purchases on a balance transfer card?

No—purchases accrue high interest right away, negating 0% savings and hiking utilization.
