在美国多年,就任何利用个人信用卡贷款,谈一点个人心得,与大家分享。在美国,大凡用过信用卡的人,都有过这样的经历,本来已经有了数张卡了,像Macy’s,Gaps,Target 等百货公司的购物卡,或CITIBANK,BANK OFAMERICA,AMERICAN EXPRESS等银行或信用卡发卡公司的VISA或MASTER卡等,还是会经常收到信用卡公司的新卡申请表,要求你开新的信用卡。在这些信件中,或说没有年费,或说可以累积里程,或说可以给积分,或者有购物回扣,甚至现金回扣等等。即使你已经持有有些发卡行或公司的信用卡,他们仍然会给你新的OFFER。
由于大多数人都有过迟付账单被信用卡公司收取高额罚款的切肤之痛,因此,大多数人都将信撕碎,一扔了之。未曾注意到有些OFFER大有利用的价值。比如0利率的借款,期限最长的有一年半。如果你有其他的高息贷款如8.75%的汽车贷款,或6.375%的房屋贷款,你就可以利用信用卡公司的无息或低息贷款来节省利息支出了。比方说你按0利率向信用卡借款1万美元,还掉30年期的房屋贷款,看下面是从YAHOO算的1万美元30年期6.375%利率贷款在贷款还清时(360个月)支付的利息金额:$12,459.00.
