Credit card reform may be on the way, but it isn't all good news. If you're like most people, you probably get a lot of credit card offers in the mail. Many of these offers provide some attractive low interest rates, balance transfers, or reward programs. While it can be tempting to take advantage of some of these offers, you have to be careful. These offers are usually short-lived and can be even more costly than you think. Whether it is a teaser rate or hidden fees on balance transfers, you want to read all of the fine print before taking advantage of any credit card. Some promotions are legitimately worthwhile, but there is usually more to it than the big 0% they are promoting on the form. Learn how to spot these hidden fees and how to avoid them.Hidden Credit Card Fees originally appeared on About.com Financial Planning on Saturday, December 4th, 2010 at 22:15:09.Permalink | Comment | Email this

Long-term readers of PFBlog knows I have been taking advantage of credit card companies for years. Especially, I'm very good at 0% APR arbitrage, whereby I sign up for new credit cards with attached introductory 0% APR balance transfer offer, move the entire balance immediately to my bank account, and enjoy the high saving account rates of 5% or more while remitting only the monthly minimal payment back to the credit card company. Of course, this strategy will drag down your credit score. Last summer, especially, I applied five cards in two months' time, and my credit score tanked from 720s to 640s, and I was essentially denied new credit application after being seen a credit risk by most banks. But credit score is only of cosmetic value if you don't need credit any time soon. To me, after all, I have no better use of my credit score now that I'm sitting on a portfolio of over $800k and has no plan to buy a property any time soon.
