Default Dealing with Credit Card offers

Credit card offers frequently use teaser rates to acquire new customers. The introductory rates last a few months before the regular interest rate kicks in. Some of the attributes of teaser programs include:

Length of time the rates are offered. Teaser rates generally last only a few months, perhaps three to six months. Be sure to ask the card company what the regular interest rate will be when the introductory period expires.

There are many mis-leading cedit card companies and they're growing rapidly.

Of course, that's just like any other company trying to attract new customers. They all give you that low rate/cost or introductory offer that sounds to good to be true (which it almost always is) and than after awhile "BAM" they snatch it away from you, In hopes that they've done a good enough job in the other areas of there services such as "customer service" maybe just maybe you won't close your account or rendor services with them. Because you know how everybody loves good customer service. I guess in a sense I'm speaking from experience. I too have fallen victim to a few of these to good to be true offers but decided to stay because of good customer service alone. Now that I am older and a little bit wiser I am not that easily persuaded. "Just say NO" LOL :-)
