Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The deal
The AA's new Transfer Plus credit card offers a promotional rate of 6.9 per cent for the life of any balances transferred to the card in the first 60 days.
Good points
The rate is lower than average high street loan rates at the moment.
Bad points
There's a 2 per cent transfer fee. So switch a £5,000 loan to the card and you'll have to stump up £100 as well as the ongoing interest charges. If you go over your credit limit, the promotional rate will be scrapped and replaced with interest charged at up to 20.9 per cent.
Conclusion
The AA suggests people could use the card to buy "a new car, home improvements or a holiday of a lifetime". But rather than lumbering yourself with plastic, you could apply for one of the many personal loans on the market at below 6 per cent.
