One other point that no one else has mentioned. Most credit card companies apply payments to the balance with the lowest interest rate. So if you have a balance transfer at 0% and purchases at 12%, each payment you send will be applied only to the balance transfer until it is paid off. Meanwhile, your purchases continue to accrue interest at the 12% rate. That is the catch.

You're right latoya. That's one of the biggest problems when utilizing these 0% offers. You really have to make sure you stay up on these accounts or you'll never get the benefits of the 0%.
After I make a transfer to a 0% balance transfer card, I try to set it aside and not touch it until that balance is paid off.
