8% is one of the lowest rates I've seen.  There might be intoductory/BT rates or promotional rates that are temporarily lower, but they usually pop up to over 10%.

For a non-intro rate your not going to beat 8% by much.  Even to get to that level you'll have to look into CU cards.  8% is a great CC rate.

Re: which card low APR

I have a Capital One card that I got years ago with 7.15% but I dont think they offer that anymore

 

Credit unions have really low rates. I think I saw my local CU advertise 2.99% 

AMEX: $25,000, CSR: $10,000, Chase Priority Club: $1,500, Freedom: $5000, Freedom Unlimited: $1000, Discover: $21,000, BoA $11,000, WF Cash Wise: $5000

Re: which card low APR

Credit unions are usually the best option for low rates... Off the cuff, one in my area is offering 5.75%. Though if you have excellent credit to begin with, it's not too difficult to hop around on 0% intro offers. Smiley Wink
