I paid $12,000 on my personal card (was at 10% interest) leaving a balance of under $2,000. They transferred the $2,000. to my business card and lowered that card's rate to 4.95%. Still $15K in debt, but with it on one card at a low rate I can pay it off in 16 months. This is what I had intended to do, but wanted to examine the pros and cons to the options available to me. Thanks for the advice and being here for those who need it. James I contacted Amex and spoke with an account specialist.
