One must consider the promotional interest rate, the length of the promotional period, what the standard interest rate is once the promotional period expires and what the fee is to transfer your balance from one card to another when exploring balance transfer options. Whether they are a good deal or not also depends on how long it takes you to pay off the card balance once you move it to a new card.
