Re: Have you used variable interest rate credit cards?

My experience is I haven't really noticed them change all the time. Yet again I dont like paying interest. Furthermore, I do have a fixed rate credit card that I am starting to use more just incase I did have to revolve.

What exactly is a variable interest rate? When the rate changes slightly each month? My Capital One Platinum Prestige card is like that. Last month was it's 7.91% and this month 7.67%. It never goes above 8% and I love the rate.

Majority of credit cards are variable interest rate they are all based on prime rate (3.35) or Libor rate (don't know what it is now) unles you get on the card agreement that it will be fixed. Sometimes they have promotional rates that they can give out and those are fixed. There still some credit card companies offering fixed rates out there.
