Article Body: Credit card issuers keep on adding new features to credit cards to woo potential customers. A credit card balance transfer is one among them. You can transfer your outstanding card balance (or balances) from your higher interest credit cards onto a balance transfer credit card with a lower introductory interest rate. American Express was the first credit card issuer to adopted this strategy and other card issuers quickly followed suit. To understand the balance transfer process, you need to understand the various terms associated with balance transfers such as APR, annual fee, introductory rate and balance transfer fees. The annual percentage rate (APR) is the interest rate that a credit card user has to pay for carrying over a balance, transferring a balance from another card, or taking out a cash advance. Depending upon the specific card offer, some credit card companies will also charge an annual fee just for card membership. Unless the card has a significant rewards offer, you should avoid balance transfer cards that require an annual fee. An introductory rate is a special annual percentage rate (APR) for a limited time. If you have a good credit history, you may get the benefit of low introductory rate for a longer period than cardholders with poor or suspect credit histories. Transferring your Credit Balance As long as you pay credit card balance in full each month, you should not have to bother with balance transfers. Unfortunately, credit card debt can build quickly if balances are not paid in pull, but if used correctly a credit card balance transfer can buy you time so that you may pay down the debt without incurring exorbitant finance charges. Balance transferring is as simple as filling out the application of your card issuer of choice. But you should carefully investigate and research the terms and conditions of your new card to avoid things like balance transfer fees, penalties and surcharges that some cards will employ. Card companies like Visa, American Express, MasterCard and Discover have many different kinds of cards and many of them have attractive balance transfer features. Some questions that you should asking about balance transfer cards: 1. What is the ongoing APR of the card after the introductory rate expires? 2. How long the introductory rate last? 3. Will I be able to payoff the balance transfer by the end of the introductory APR offer? 3. Does the card offer an introductory APR on new purchases as well as transferred
