RateSupermarket.ca's Review

Looking to pay off some credit card debt? There's no sense wasting hard earned money on interest payments (which often prevent you from making a serious dent in your principal!) when you could be paying as little as 1.99% on balance transfers. Many credit card consumers don't fully understand the concept of a balance transfer, but these credit cards can be excellent tools in the quest to be debt-free: transfer an existing balance from a higher interest rate credit card to the Scotiabank Value® VISA card and pay only 1.99% in interest for the first six months. On top of that, the ongoing interest rate for new purchases is only 11.99%, much lower than the average 19.99%. Plus, pay no hidden balance transfer fees! All with a low annual fee of $29. After your first six months are up and the introductory interest rate ends, you'll pay a low rate of 11.99%. To put this into perspective: if you're carrying a balance of $1,500 on another credit card with a 19.99% interest rate, you'll save $139.65 in the first six months alone by switching to the Scotiabank Value® VISA card.
