If you have excellent credit, the First National Bank Platinum Edition Visa card offers you a 10.99 percent interest rate, which is very good compared to the average credit card rate of 14.96 percent. In addition, the card comes with no annual fee, a 0 percent APR on balance transfers for 15 months, a free FICO score and no penalty APR.
Note that the audience for this card is limited. Only cardholders who live in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota or Texas may apply.
Low interest rate
In a world where a double-digit interest rate is the norm rather than the exception, the Platinum Edition Visa Card’s 10.99 percent rate is a welcome deviation from business as usual. There are better low interest rate cards, but in combination with the other features on the card, the rate is a pretty good deal.
Introductory 0 percent APR period is long
You get an introductory 0 percent interest rate for balance transfers for 15 months, which makes it useful for debt consolidation. But be sure to make at least minimum payments by the due date without fail, or you can lose your 0 percent APR in a heartbeat.
No penalty APR
The card offers an average mix of fees and penalties. There is a $37 fee for late payments, which is not small change. On the upside, there’s no penalty APR. Credit cards often increase your APR quite dramatically for even one violation, costing you hundreds of dollars in the long run. With the Platinum Edition Visa Card, your rate will remain low even if you make a mistake.
Free FICO Score
You get free unlimited access to your true FICO credit score so you can stay on top of your credit.
Purchase protection
Items purchased with the Platinum Edition Visa Card are eligible for purchase protection benefits. They will be replaced, repaired or reimbursed if lost or damaged within 90 days of the date of purchase, for up to $1,000 per claim.
Why get the First National Bank of Omaha Platinum Edition Visa card?
- You routinely carry a balance and could use a 10.99 percent APR credit card with no annual fee.
- You want to consolidate your debt within a 15-month period.
- You are not interested in cash back or rewards.
How to use the First National Bank of Omaha Platinum Edition Visa card:
- If you take advantage of the 0 percent introductory APR, make sure to pay the balance off in full or as much as possible within the first 15 months.
- Avoid using this card overseas due to the 3 percent foreign transaction fee.
