    I was wondering what the lowest fixed APR (not introductory/promotional) and variable APR cards people have or have received offers for. Some may want to list only their lowest ones, some may list them all. I don't have a preference, does anyone else? Feel free to list your credit lines as well if you want.

    This may give others an idea of the best rates offered and give them something to neg. for. Please be specific as to issueing bank and which card specific card it was. Please note if there was an annual fee involved. I am particually curious about the lowest rates people have or have seen for Visa Signature Cards (especially the Citi HHonors since it has no annual fee) and MasterCard World Cards.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE TO EVERYONE THAT PARTICIPATES! ! ! ! !

    Legend: f = fixed V=Variable AF= Annual Fee

    My lowest offers:

    Providian Platinum 8.7%f
    Fleet Platinum 8.9%f
    First USA Prime4Life PrimeV $95AF (was phone offer)

    My lowest cards:

    16k MBNA Quantum 9.9%f
    16k Amex Blue 9.9%f
    9k Target Visa 9.9%f
    25k Citibank Plat Select 6.65%V (Prime+1.9% i believe)

    Unfortunately, those two issuers don't know the meaning of the word "fixed"© Their "fixed" rates normally change faster than you can say "jack up"©

    Saar, I totally agree. That's why I never accepted those offers.

    Me, could you please specify fixed or variable for your accounts? Thanks.
