  1. Step 1

    Gather all of your cards, and your last statement.

  2. Step 2

    Know the current intrest rate that you are paying on the cards you have. Then call the customer service number on the back of the card.

  3. Step 3

    Talk to an actuall person. Let them know that you have recieved an offer for a balance transfer that is a much better rate than what you are paying to them. Ask them for a better rate.

  • If you have never missed payments or anything, let them know that as well. They would not want to turn away a good customer.
