Low interest credit cards are more valuable than cash back or rewards cards for people who tend to run a balance. At the regular rate of around 19.99% that most credit cards charge on unpaid balances, interest can add up fast and cancel out any other rewards you might be generating. With a regular interest rate of 12.99%, the BMO Preferred Rate Mastercard can help keep more of your money in your pocket, and its balance transfer promotion can help you pay down debt from your other, higher-interest, cards. 

With BMO as the card issuer, the Preferred Rate Mastercard is also ideal for those who prefer keeping all their accounts with a single provider, or who like their card to be affiliated with one of the big banks.
