Hi MyFico Fam,
When I received an email today that my statement was ready, I looked over it like I always do making sure the information is correct. I was nearing the end, I noticed my APR had been reduced from 24.49 to 23.99. I know it’s a very small reduction and I always PIF, so it’s not a big deal but I’ll take it, especially since I never asked for it!
NICE!! Congrats on the reduction!

Thank you, Mv!
It's because federal prime rate was reduced 0.5% on March 4th.

Yep. Credit card rate reductions always lag the fed for a few weeks.
Congrats! They offered me a promo period @17.49 through September of '21 on my BCE.

what they said
All your cards should get the .5. As stated Fed rate cut. You should ask AMEX if you have a promo APR reduction. They are 6-7 months. My card is never original APR. Just cut it permanently! 🙄
Good to know. Thanks everyone!

Ok this made me go back and check and my memory was fuzzy, it wasn't through September of next year but it was a full year promo.
