(Update: This card has expired. Check out the new Discover it card). Discover Card has a sweet deal on which they have sprinkled jimmies. As of June Fools Day (June 1st), Discover dropped their one-time balance transfer fee from 5% to 3%. No annual fee for the card. No joke. You will pay 3% of what you transfer over, to be able to pay 0% for 18 months. Hey, they gotta keep the lights on somehow. I have long suggested dumping your high interest card balances onto a card that will not charge you ANY interest. Apply now for Discover® Card’s – 18 Month Promotional 0% Balance Transfer offer and/or click here to see my vlog about how all this works. It’s better to pay 0% interest than 15-20%, right? Even girls know this is a good deal and they are HORRIBLE at math. Kidding. Just seeing if you are still reading 🙂

I think the title is a little misleading. it maes it sound like they have lowered their balance transfer fee below 0%. But in reality the fee is lowered to 3% and the interest rate is 0% for 18 months. Still a hell of a deal.
The effective interest rate is 2% a year,
Think about it: a 3% “fee” over 18 months. That is 2% annual rate.
Cheaper than the rate on a new debt. But whichever way you slice it, it is debt.
