aparently no one cares about non-reward cards here! lol

You could just open cards with 12-18 month 0% APR periods every year or so and/or balance transfer to the Chase Slate card (0% APR for BTs for some period, no BT fee) if you have a big balance.

I don't know too much about general low-APR cards.  I'd imagine credit unions are good for those.

I am wanting to add cards that have lower rates/fees on things in the unfortunate even I get to the point where I cannot PIF.

 

Barclaycard Ring

 

-APR is Prime +4.75

-No Balance transfer/annual fee

-Cash advance fee is $1

-FTF 1%

 

DCU Platinum Visa

 

-APR 8.5%-18.00%

-No Balance Transfer/annual fee

-No cash advance fee

-FTF 2%

 

 

I had a C/O card from Navy when I was still in the service and left and was unaware of how credit worked.  Not sure if I can get back in with them or not.  Thoughts suggestions and comments are encouraged and welcomed.

So the trouble is with the APR range for DCU.  8.5% is a good APR, 18.00% not so much, lots of rewards cards around there.  So you would need to know what range of APR you might get, and how long it might stay there.

You can also look into opening a Citi credit card. As long as you keep it in good standing there is constant 0% BT (sometime 0% purchase) offer.
