  3. Thanks for your thoughts. One thing I’ve got noticed is the fact that banks along with financial institutions really know the spending behaviors of consumers and understand that plenty of people max out and about their cards around the breaks. They prudently take advantage of this specific fact and commence flooding your current inbox as well as snail-mail box by using hundreds of 0 APR card offers shortly when the holiday season ends. Knowing that if you are like 98 of American public, you’ll soar at the one opportunity to consolidate personal credit card debt and switch balances for 0 rate credit cards.
