Best Fixed Rate Cards... are there any great ones still out there ?

Hello...   just wanted to ask my friends here if there are still some low rate fixed APR  credit cards still out there.  I'm guessing they would be through a credit union... and I'm fine with that.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance !

Might be wrong, however most of the single digit fixed APR cards went the way of the dodo.

Most switched to variable rates in 2024, a few grandfathered current holders, with new applicants as variable rate holders.

Maybe someone here has an exception.

 

Lower current APR's (Variable) with zero BT, zero CA, No FTF's  for excellent credit that are open to many would be "SDFCU" or those that have military connections "Navy".   

I believe SDFCU low is ~11% and Navy ~12%.

@Live4Fishing,

 

My last single digit fixed APR Visa went from 9.9 to 10.9 recently and this was a platinum Visa from SCSCU,a geofenced credit union. I'm not aware of any bank or credit union with a fixed rate card.

Nice fixed rate, but both geo locked and with a BT & CA fee's.

Like you not seeking low APR cards, but interesting.

If anyone knows some good ones it would be @galahad15.  He is always into low rate fixed APR cards. 

 

For me, I prefer to keep lenders on the hook which often provide either 0% APR or low APR with no BT fee offers in the event I need to roll a payment.   Either way, I'd probably be paying effectively 5% or less in most cases for a one-year repayment which would beat most low APR cards.   I get regular offers from several of my lenders including Capital One, Discover, Bank of America, and Barclays.  Even Chase gives me some good offers.  (Using the "My Chase Loan" feature on my Chase Sapphire Reserve, I qualify for up to $25,000 with APR of 7.99 to 11.99% based on loan amount and duration.  (12 billing cycles shows the lower APR when I checked further.)   I previously kept a "Low APR" contingency card "just in case" but decided I would rarely if ever use it and had other credit options to deal with financing.

@Live4Fishing  I am not sure if this a variable or fixed rate . I was able to join from California.  If you would post what state you reside in it would help.
