Credit Card Averages

The national average annual percentage rate (APR) remained at 14.99 percent Wednesday, after climbing the previous week for the first time in more than two months.

Most issuers left credit card terms alone this week. The sporting goods store Cabela's lowered the minimum APR on the Cabela's Club Visa from 15.18 percent to 15.17 percent. However, the change to the store card's APR wasn't big enough to dent the national average.

Barclays was also active. For the third time in four weeks, Barclays floated a new promotional offer on the US Airways Premier World MasterCard.

Barclays introduced a 12-month, 0 percent purchase APR to the US Airways card. In addition, Barclays shortened the airline card's interest-free balance transfer offer from 15 months to 12 months.

The CreditCards.com credit card rate survey (permalink: http://www.creditcards.com/rate-report) is conducted weekly, using offer data from the leading U.S. card issuers' websites.
