Review

This Chase credit card has one of best intro rates on purchases and balance transfers for those with very good credit. However, there is a 3% balance transfer fee. If you have average credit and qualify for the standard pricing, the intro period is only 3 months. The card has a reasonable interest rate and no annual fee. Earn 1 point per $1 spent. Rewards include cash back, travel, merchandise, and gift cards. Earn up to 60,000 points per year. Individuals who have a banking account with Chase will also be considered for a lower APR (1% less than those who do not). The card does have a high APR for cash advances. 3% international transaction fee. Benefits include insurance for auto rental, travel accident insurance, and a year-end summary of transactions.
