San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
0% interest credit cards are a great debt consolidation tool for consumers in the post-holiday months. Credit cards with 0% intro periods that apply to both balance transfers and purchases alike allow consumers to go interest-free on credit card bills for anywhere from six to 18 months.
According to Creditnet.com, a leading credit repair authority online, 0 interest balance transfer credit cards can save consumers tons in interest while consolidating post-holiday credit card debt. As consumers look to settle up on credit card debt from Christmas 2012, applying for a new card with 0 interest on balance transfers in February 2013 is a significant step in the right direction.
Taking that into consideration, Creditnet today released its picks for the best 0% interest credit cards of February 2013. Factors include the length of a zero interest credit card's intro period, ongoing rewards and credit card sign-up bonuses.
Here are Creditnet's picks for the best 0 interest credit cards for February 2013:
Best 0% Interest Card for Consolidating Debt: Citi Simplicity® Card
The Citi Simplicity® Card is a leading debt consolidation credit card for several reasons. Creditnet pointed to the card's 18 month intro period - which applies to balance transfers and purchases - and the fact that the Simplicity® Card does not charge late fees or hike interest rates after late payments as its most impressive attributes.
According to Creditnet, consumers hoping to consolidate debt won't find a credit card that's easier to manage and keep track of. And its 18 month intro period allows consumers to pay down debt interest free for up to a year-and-a-half, tied for the longest of any card on the market today.
Consumers hoping to make a transfer on the Citi Simplicity® Card can expect to pay 3% of the total balance transferred, the standard rate for balance transfer credit cards. Overall, this is Creditnet's favorite debt consolidation card for February 2013.
Best 0% Interest Card for Cash Back: Discover it™ Card - 18 Month Balance Transfer
For consumers hoping to transfer a balance onto a cash back card with 0% interest, Creditnet.com recommends the Discover it™ - 18 Month Balance Transfer Card.
The newest cash back card from Discover, this 0 interest card features an 18 month 0% interest intro period that applies to both balance transfers and purchases. The cash back program features a 5% Cashback Bonus® for up to $1,500 made on purchases in rotating categories that change each quarter, and 1% cash back on all other purchases.

Like the aforementioned Citi card, the transfer fee on this 0 interest card is 3%.
Consumers with good-to-excellent credit hoping to consolidate debt while earning cash back rewards will be hard-pressed to find a credit card better than the Discover it™ - 18 Month Balance Transfer Card, according to Creditnet.
