Is 0% APR the same as no interest?

Yes, 0% APR is the same as no interest, though only up to a point. While 0% APR means no interest in the short term, the 0% APR on a credit card offer is only an introductory deal that will be replaced by a higher regular APR at the end of the 0% intro period.… read full answer

With most credit cards, the interest rate that takes effect after a 0% APR ends will only apply to any balance remaining at that point, plus future balances carried from month to month. With some store credit cards, however, the regular rate will retroactively apply to the original purchase amount if you don’t repay what you owe by the end of the 0% promo period.

Finally, if you have a 0% APR offer, understand that it does not excuse you from making payments on your account each month. In fact, you could lose your 0% APR if you fail to pay the minimum amount by the due date.

Is a 24.99% APR good?

A 24.99% APR is not good for mortgages, student loans, or auto loans, as it’s far higher than what most borrowers should expect to pay and what most lenders will even offer. A 24.99% APR is reasonable for personal loans and credit cards, however, particularly for people with below-average credit. You still shouldn’t settle for a rate this high if you can help it, though. … read full answer
