Zero percent interest will last for a limited time. In the industry this is called a teaser rate. You want to choose the credit card with the longest zero percent interest time. If you are one of the fortunate souls, who has excellent credit, or even if you aren't, you can call the credit card companies and ask them to match terms or better their terms to compete with other offers. Most are so desperate, they will do it even though you are not a customer yet! Once you have the card, transfer your balances and pay off as much as you can before the zero percent interest offer expires.

Where can you get the sweetest deals? Discover's Platinum MasterCard, Chase's Platinum Visa, and MBNA WorldPoints Platinum Plus MasterCard all offer zero percent interest from eight months to one year.
