Take full advantage of Balance Transfer's selection of cards by following these simple guidelines to find the perfect card for you.

Know Yourself and Your Needs

Selecting the right credit card starts with you. If you go into the process knowing exactly what you need from a card, it will make selecting the right card much easier. Here are a few things you'll want to think about before looking at cards:

• What's your credit like? Do you have excellent credit? Above-average? Needs improvement? Find out your credit score to figure out where you stand. Balance Transfer credit cards are often conveniently broken down into categories based on the applicant's credit. Knowing this information beforehand will help you narrow the field.
• What are your credit habits? This is very important in determining what you should prioritize in a credit card. If you know you will end up carrying a balance month-to-month, for example, then low APR cards make the most sense. If you pay off your balance in full every month, on the other hand, you might get more value out of other card benefits, like a rewards program.
• Are you interested in a rewards program, and, if so, what kind? A rewards program is not going to do you a lot of good if you never take advantage of it. For example, if you only use your credit card sparingly, you probably won't be able to earn any substantial rewards. But if you use your card regularly and will take advantage of rewards you earn, a rewards card might be a good idea. Think about what type of rewards program would be most useful to you. Do you want to earn travel rewards? Earn merchandise? Get cash back? Balance Transfer credit cards offer many rewards options.
• Are you willing to pay an annual fee? For many rewards and other Balance Transfer credit cards, you might pay an annual fee. Are you willing to do this to reap the benefits of such cards? Decide if you are willing to pay an annual fee, and, if so, how much.
• What do you do with your card? Which card fits you best will largely depend on what you want to do with it. For example, if you'd like to take advantage of balance transfers, then pay special attention to Balance Transfer credit cards with attractive balance transfer APR's and low fees. If you know you like to take advantage of cash advances, then go with cards that offer the most competitive rates on advances. If security and consistency are important to you, then you might want to go with a fixed-rate APR card.
