None of the issuers tracked by CreditCards.com adjusted interest rates. As a result, the national average APR remained lodged at 15 percent for the sixth consecutive week.
Promotional rates, including 0 percent purchase rates and interest-free balance transfer offers, were also left unchanged.
Issuers have mostly left credit card terms alone this summer. The last time a card tracked by CreditCards.com advertised a new promotional rate was in early June when Discover trimmed the "it" card's interest-free purchase and balance transfer offer from 15 months to 12 months. Interest rates have also largely stayed the same. The national average APR, for example, has changed just twice since the beginning of May.
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.
