Are you carrying a balance on your credit cards?
More and more Americans find themselves in financial trouble with high credit card balances on high interest credit cards. You can find solace in that you're not alone. A viable solution can be found in 0% interest credit card balance transfers. These promotions are becoming an increasingly popular way to consolidate and manage your credit card debt.

Take advantage of 0% interest balance transfer credit cards by setting up an aggressive payment schedule. Most introductory rates last between 6-12 months. Do some quick math and see how much you would need to pay back each month to pay off the debt before the introductory rate expires.

If you play the game right, you can also have your credit cards pay you with everything from free plane tickets to home mortgage rebates. With so many offers stuffing your mailbox, finding the best card can be overwhelming and frustrating.

Credit experts say there is an easy way to sort through the piles of sales pitches. They say reading the fine print can help.

To find the best card for you visit the BondRewards Credit Card Center, a free service to our members. It compares hundreds of different credit cards, and rates them based on interest rates, annual fees, and rewards.

You can search for a card based on your needs, such as miles on a specific airline.

The FDIC does not endorse or sponsor mortgage loan programs and the CRA does not entitle people to grants or loans. To learn more about this warning please
