I've always been impressed with your collection of low APR cards, @galahad15. I've wondered though, do you prefer to have all these for emergencies or do you regularly carry balances for some reason? I like having one or two for emergencies, but if I opened that many low-APR cards, I would probably end up having any without rewards closed due to insufficient usage over time! But that's just me. On the other hand, I do see some that have rewards as well as the low rate and others that I'm not familiar with may have them as well. Your strategy?

Hi @Aim_High , thank you for the compliment on the low APR cards, I appreciate it! In response to your question: I do carry several balances on some of the cards I have that are on the lower end of the APR spectrum. However, any card I have with an APR of 10% of higher is definitely PIF every month. One of the major reasons for the low-APR cards that do have balances has been multiple unexpected car repair bills (have had a few of those in recent months). I am aiming at paying down my existing balances as quickly as possible though in the future.

Nice to see Galahad show up in this thread. It's a little like Michael Jordan strolling in to join a pickup basketball game.

@FinStar 2mm years ago WOW
Thanks although think I rather be on the private jet with you .
I would love to have an APR under 6%, that's incredible!
@galahad15 I noticed you have a Ring but didn't list the APR. What is your APR on that one? It has to be under 10%.
I just got by far my lowest APR card in the mail yesterday - the FNBO Prime Visa. No rewards, just a stupid low APR equal to the prime rate. With that APR and a very useful $9400 CL, this can easily be the home improvement and tuition card.
