The Reason Why The Discover Platinum Credit Card Is Very Popular for Transferring Balances

Discover Credit Cards

Lately, I've been getting emails from folks asking why the Discover Platinum credit cards are so popular for balance transfers. Why do savvy consumers chose Discover over the competitors?

Well, folks, it's really quite simple: Discover offers the best value.

The Discover Platinum Card offers an interest-free period of 12 months for both transferred balances and new credit card purchases. Generally speaking, other credit cards typically only offer an interest-free period for balance transfers, and charge interest on new purchases.

Discover Platinum is also a rewards credit card: icing on the cake!

Last, but certainly not least: there's no annual membership fee with the Discover Platinum card.

NB: The Discover Platinum Card used to be a "no balance transfer fee" card, but you'll have to pay a fee for transferring balances now: 3% for each balance transfer, with a minimum of $10 and a maximum of $75.

We like the following 3 flavors of the Discover Platinum Card (Update: "Discover Platinum" has been renamed to "Discover More"):

• Discover® More Card- American Flag
  
• Discover® More Card
  
• Discover® More Card - Wildlife Collection

OK, now I know that for some of you, the next question is:

"What if I've already transferred my credit card balance(s) to a Discover account? I know I can't transfer from one Discover credit card to another, so what to do? I want a first-class, fee-free balance transfer offer, and I won't settle for anything less!"

If the above describes your situation, then we have good news for you: Right now, there are two Citibank credit cards that offer a 12 month, interest-free period on transferred balances with no balance transfer fee. The tw0 cards are:

• Citi® Driver's Edge® Platinum Select ® Card
  -- 0% APR on transferred balances for 1 year
  -- no balance transfer fee
  -- no annual membership fee
  
• Citi® Home Rebate Platinum Select® MasterCard®
  -- 0% APR on transferred balances for 1 year
  -- no balance transfer fee
  -- no annual membership fee

Remember: the interest-free period for the above-listed Citibank credit cards is for transferred balances only, not for new purchases, so you'll have to stay disciplined if you signup for one of these offers.

It's also important to remember that credit card offers can change at any time, so if you plan on taking advantage of any offer recommended here today, you shouldn't procrastinate.
