How Do I Negotiate Lower Interest Rates On My Credit Cards?

November 20th, 2009

I am trying to pay off all of my credit cards. I have gotten all of the balances paid down but now I want to negotiate a lower interest rate so I don’ t pay tons of interest each time I use it. I have read some things on how to do it such as calling your cc company armed with your payment history etc. But I would like to know what exactly to say to not get pushed around and get the result I’m looking for… a lower rate.

    I don’t think your payment history will help get the rates lowered. Call and tell them you have a credit card offer for a much lower rate and want to know if they will lower their rate.
    If they won’t lower the rate, pay that card off and don’t use it. Chances are, after a few months they will be making you all sorts of special offers — provided you have a good credit rating.
    Of course if you pay off all the balances and then only charge what you can afford to pay in full every month, the interest rate won’t matter.

    Really the best way is to just ask. I’ve worked in customer service for a little and the best way to get things done is to talk to a supervisor if the person you’re talking to can’t help you out.
