What is an introductory 0% APR interest rate?
A 0% introductory interest rate is a dangling carrot that credit card merchants use to make credit cards more attractive. Should you fall for it – Yes! You pay no interest on your purchases for 6 to 12 months. The alternate is paying interest from day one. Pay attention to the credit card terms for details about the standard interest rate after the introductory period is over.
