Tricky 0% Balance Transfer Costs Comments Off

You sign up for a card that promises 0% on balance transferred to the card. But…

There may be a 2% to 4% charge for the transfer. At 4%, that’s $200 on a $5,000 balance. That 0% may last for only none months, then jump to more than you’re paying now.

The 0% may apply only to initial balance transfers – the ones you switch when you first apply for the card.

Say you have 3 cards but apply to transfer the balances from only 2 of them, then later decide to include the third. That third transfer may be treated as a cash advance – you’ll be charged super high fees and interest.

If you’re late on a payment, your 0% will vanish so fast that your head will spin.

If you use the card for new charges, the interest will build up faster than you think it will. Monthly payments are usually applied to your zero-interest balance until the introductory offer period ends. Meanwhile, the interest on new purchases keeps added on.

$$ Saver. To see if it pays to switch, unearth all the fees in the fine print and compare them with your current card’s fees.

If you still like the new deal, transferring balances can take as long as 4 weeks,so keep paying off your old card until you get a statement showing a zero balance. Then, cancel that card so you won’t be tempted to use it and run up even more debt.

On the new card, concentrate on paying off the transferred balances as fast as you can.

Angelina & Brad Pitt Cash In $10 Million For The First Pictures Of Celebs’ Babies Comments Off

If Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want it, they could get a whopping 10 million dollars for pictures of their baby or babies when the actress gives birth, says a magazine editor. Leading magazines have started dishing out the cash in millions for the first pictures of celebs’ babies.

People paid Christina Aguilera a reported 1.5 million dollars for pics of her newborn son Max, and shelved out a whopping 6 million dollars for those of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s new twins, Max and Emme.

It’s become big business now. It’s outrageous, they’ve gotten very sophisticated. The rights are bought up now even before the celeb enters the hospital. They hire extra security so it’s impossible to obtain a photo illegally. The people who would command the highest price would be Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt.

If J.Lo really did get $6 million, then Angelina can now command 8 million USD. At this point no one could command more money than Brangelina.
