Key Things to Know About a PenFed Platinum Rewards Balance Transfer

The PenFed Platinum Rewards card only accepts balance transfers from other credit cards. The PenFed Platinum Rewards card does not allow balance transfers from other PenFed credit accounts.

If you’re transferring a balance to a credit card with an introductory APR on balance transfers, try to pay off the balance before the introductory rate expires. Any balance remaining after that will accumulate interest daily at the card’s regular APR. Using a balance transfer calculator can be a big help.

Finally, there is a 3% fee on PenFed Platinum Rewards balance transfers. Make sure to take this into account, too.
