THANKS!!


BoA: 19.99% to 12.99% - Cash Rewards

BoA: 18.99 to 11.99% - Better Balance Rewards

 

AMEX: 17.99% to 14.99% - Blue Cash Everyday

 

Discover: 18.99% to 17.24% - Discover It

 

Citi: 17.99% to 15.99% - Double Cash (Was Dividend previously)

 

I'm already at the lowest APRs offered by Barclaycard (13.99% on Sallie, 8% on Ring).


When asking BOA for a APR reduction, is it thru CSR or backdoor?

Re: Lowering APRs

I have been successful with BofA, Cap1, Citi, Amex, Discover and Barclays. The only lender that will never budge is the one which gave me the highest APR ...Chase😜

For most lenders I got it lowered by 5%. I do not remember the original but current APRs are in my signature.

I was transferred to a Credit Analyst. She thanked me for always paying on time and managing my account well. Then she dropped it from 20.9% to 14%.

Re: Lowering APRs

If you need a low APR card designed for carrying a balance, I would suggest jumping on the Ring train.
