bank of america doesn't want to give me a special rate on a balance transfer....

for a 3% fee, my new bank of america upromise card will let me transfer for my normal 9% rate....disappointing but better than the astronomical 27% on my amex blue......

here's the fineprint......

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for this Balance Transfer is a variable rate; as of 03/31/2009 the APR is 9.24%. In addition, we may increase the APRs on your account up to the Default Rate without giving you notice. The variable Default Rate is currently 27.24%.

interesting.....
