2.99% introductory APR for one year, based on your creditworthiness.

    After that, your APR will be 7.24% to 13.24%. This APR will vary with the
    market based on the Prime Rate.

Re: best card for low apr?

Really? I think I recall several threads where people have been getting 5k+ ring accounts. Do you think I would have a hard time getting 5k limit with them?

Re: best card for low apr?

I'll second the SDFCU card.  They gave me 5k at 6.9% apr and weren't scared off by my collection of cards.  In fact that was the reason they said they couldn't give me the 10k I requested.  Alot of places would flat out deny with a couple new accounts within the year.  A loan officer does call you up to discuss your application if it isn't an instant approval.  And they have since called me twice to see how I like everything.  Very nice people. They pull an older model of EX and my score with them was 730.  I have also read 720+ gets the best terms with them. 

Credit Scores: Equifax - 744 (Oct FICO) | Experian 736(Oct Fico) | Transunion - 755(Oct Fico)

Credit Lines: Diners Club 20k | Penfed Plat Rewards 7k | SDFCU 5k | Amex BCE - 10.5k | Chase Freedom 4.5k | CSP - 10.6k | Discover IT - 9k | Sallie Mae 3.8k | BofA 123 - 4.9k | CITI Double Cash 9.1k | Total Rewards 3.25k

A floor rate is the lowest variable rate that a lender will charge you — even if the Prime Rate drops below it.

Barclays seems to be really conservative with Ring accounts. I've seen a lot of people get denied or stuck with low limits. It certainly is an attractive card in terms of benefits, but the underwriting appears to be tough. I wouldn't expect a 5K line.
