For the third week in a row, the national average annual percentage rate remained fixed at 14.99 percent.
Most issuers tracked by CreditCards.com left interest rates unchanged. The sporting goods store Cabela's adjusted the APR on the Cabela's Club Visa after the 1-month Libor rate inched up by .01 percent. However, the change was too small to affect the national average.
Unlike most U.S. credit cards, the Cabela's Club Visa is tied to the British Libor rate rather than the U.S. prime rate. Sporting goods enthusiasts who apply for a Cabela's Club Visa are now offered a range of APRs starting at 15.18 percent.
Discover was also active this week. It trimmed the Discover "it" card's promotional APR offer from 14 months to 12 months.
The CreditCards.com credit card rate survey (permalink: http://www.creditcards.com/rate-report) is conducted weekly, using offer data from the leading U.S. card issuers' websites. Introductory offer periods and regular interest rates will vary with applicants' credit quality and issuer risk-based pricing policies.
