For the fifth week in a row, the national average APR remained at 15 percent. None of the cards tracked by CreditCards.com advertised new rates. Promotional offers, including interest-free balance transfer offers and introductory purchase rates, were also left in place.
For the second time this year, Capital One eliminated the $19 annual fee on its Platinum card. The issuer had removed the card's annual fee in January, but then reintroduced it in March.
Earlier this year, Capital One also eliminated the $29 annual fee on the Secured MasterCard. As a result, the QuicksilverOne card, the Classic Platinum card and the Venture Rewards card are currently the only personal cards that Capital One offers that carry an annual fee.
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.
