8. Slate℠ from Chase

Slate℠ from Chase Apply Now See Details

Intro Rate: 0% APR for up to 12 Months*
Grace Period: 20 Days (Min.)

Annual Fee: None

Special Offers: *For Elite and Premium Pricing, the intro APR for purchases and balance transfers is 0% for the first 12 billing cycles. For Standard Pricing, the intro APR for balance transfers is 0% for the first 6 billing cycles.

Our Opinion: Slate with Blueprint (SM) gives you the ability to design your own payment plan. There are four ways to pay off your balance--Full Pay, Split Pay, Finish It and Track It. Full Pay allows you to avoid paying interest on everyday items, such as gas and groceries, when you pay them in full each month. These are automatically separated on your billing statement. Split Pay allows you to pay off larger purchases on your own terms, you set a goal date or monthly payment and these items will be separated on your statement. Finish It enables you to pay down your total balance faster by selecting a goal date or monthly payment. Track It allows you to see your spending trends and monitor your payment progress in real time. Length of intro period is determined by your application and credit history. If you qualify for Elite and Premium Pricing, you will receive a 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers for the first 6 billing cycles following the opening of the account. If you qualify for Standard Pricing, you will receive a 0% APR on balance transfers for the first 6 billing cycles of the account opening.
