You right some good things about Advanta here, but I don't think you are taking all factors into account. Advanta does a great job of offering attractive terms, but you cannot ignore the fact that their operating policies are horrible and they'll screw you the first chance they get!!! Seriously, try paying one hour late with these guys. I mean it. If you get your payment in at 3:01 pm EST the fees and penalties will rain down on you like armageddon. They will raise your interest rate over 30% in an instant. You'll get every late fee, deliquency fee, and everything else they have in all their fine print. Call them and they'll say "It's in the agreement." So, your 0% for 15 months is hanging by a thread. Be careful you don't break the thread! You know what else is part of the agreement: the right to cancel the card any time. And that's what I just did! Warning about Advanta!!!

The percentage of arbitragers and people who can still hop from 0% to 0% is very small. most people will be stuck at higher interest rates and become by default sticky customers, because most people don't have the wherewithal to pay off the promo before it ends.
