Using the web to find the best ways of reducing credit card debt

There are many sites where you can perform price comparisons, and it's no different with credit cards. One option that many people consider is consolidating their credit card debt, especially if they feel their interest rate on their credit card(s) are too high. You can usually do balance transfers to other credit card companies with lower interest rates. Some even offer a 0% interest rate for up to 16 months. And if you're were paying a 17.69% APR on one credit card, the savings can be significant. You can easily find information on some of the best APR rates of credit cards, from sites like moneysavingexpert.com. And there are plenty of interest rate comparison engines on all the leading credit cards. Of course you will have to go through the usual card application process, so it's worth checking on your credit score before you do to see if it's acceptable for applying for a balance transfer.
