Ways to Lower Your Credit Card Interest Rates

. You should always try to pay off your card as quickly as possible (even if it’s only $20 more than the minimum payment), and not just to avoid paying more in interest than you spent on the original items you purchased. Holding less debt gives you a better bargaining chip to reduce your current interest rates or go after new cards that offer even lower rates.
5. Remove black marks. Unfortunately, paying off a collection agency does not necessarily remove the offending item from your credit report, which could lead to all kinds of financial hurdles down the road, especially when it comes to lowering interest rates. So make sure to call lenders and have them remove these incidents from your credit history before you attempt to negotiate lower rates.
