There are several credit cards on the market that offer zero percent intro APRs for a time period. But if you’re planning to stay with a card for the long haul, eventually you’re going to end up with the go-to rate, also called the regular purchase APR.
Right now, there are some credit cards that offer ridiculously low regular APRs. If you have excellent credit and you’re not looking for rewards, take a look at these cards. You’ll like what you see.
