Most card issuers left credit card terms alone this week.
The sporting goods store Cabela's increased the APR on the Cabela's Club Visa by .01 percent. However, the change was too small to affect the national average. Borrowers are now offered a minimum APR of 15.17 percent and a maximum APR of 21.17 percent.
None of the issuers tracked by CreditCards.com advertised new promotional terms. The last time a card issuer revised a promotion was in March when Citi lengthened the 0 percent APR and balance transfer offer on the Citi Diamond Preferred card from 18 months to 21 months. Most issuers tracked by CreditCards.com have left promotional terms unchanged since the beginning of the year.
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.
