According to the survey, 70% of credit card users are not absolutely satisfied with interest rates on their cards, but for some reason are afraid to ask the bank for a better deal.
Should you ask your company and bank for better conditions? When is the right time to do it? Remember that it is always worth trying, you just need to find the right moment!
If you are a responsible credit card user, who has good credit, but you think that your interest rate and fees are too high, then you are not alone! Credit card rates have been rather stable for the past couple of years, but that doesn't mean that you can't ask for a better deal!
The competition on the credit card market is rather stiff. Hundreds of new credit card deals appear on the market every year. So according to Craig McKinley, specialist in finances, you are doing your credit card company a favor by cooperating with it! Even well-known major credit card companies, like Visa, Discover or American Express are trying to do their best in order to keep you as a customer. It is not surprising! You are the one who brings profit to your credit card company. You are the one who pays interest rates, fees, penalties and as a result you are the one, who makes credit card business extremely profitable.
But what is the best time to ask your company for better conditions? If you have good or excellent credit, but your APR is over 12%, it is high-time to make a call! Most credit card companies will think that a good credit card user with good paying history certainly deserves to have a good interest rate.
But what if you have bad or no credit and have a credit card with high interest rate? If you were responsible with your card: kept your balance low and made payments on time for a year or so, you should give your credit card company a call and ask for a lower rate.
Some credit cards feature low interest rate for a specific period of time and then it gets increased. According to the new law, they are required to give you a notice two weeks before they plan to increase your rate!
Don't hesitate to call your credit card company in order to get a better deal! Remember they don't want to loose you. All you have to do is to be patient and persistent and then you will definitely get what you want!
