EDITOR’S NOTE: The Chase Slate® credit card, and the Chase Freedom® credit card offers mentioned in this article are expired and are not available through CreditSesame.com
What if we told you that some credit card issuers will, in a manner of speaking, pay you cash back or offer other rewards for your purchases you make with their card? When you combine a rewards program with 0% introductory APR (Annual Percentage Rate) on purchases offer, and you use your card responsibly, not only do you save money on finance charges but you also earn rewards. Of course, if you use a rewards card and pay it off each billing period, you already know this. But if you have a big expenditure coming up that you can’t afford to pay off in one shot, it may make sense to leverage your purchasing power into a 0% introductory APR financing for your purchases (for a specified period of time) and if possible a card that offers rewards as well.
These are a couple of our favorite 0% introductory Annual Percentage Rate (APR) offers currently on the market, we updated this article and list for 2020.
