Find out what financial bonuses new Chase credit cards offer

When you're signing for a new credit card or are a first-time customer with Chase, be sure to check out cards that offer 0% APR for a limited time. Also look for the Chase credit cards that offer no annual fees for the duration of use.

I recommend: Some Chase credit card financial offers, like 0% Introductory APR, are limited-time signing offers that are only valid for the first few months or the first year of use. Some Chase gold cards and Chase platinum cards offer these introductory offers, and the detailed information will say so, but others also offer no annual fees at any time while you use Chase credit cards.

Shop Chase credit cards for your new card needs

If you're switching from another credit card company, you may need a Chase gold card or Chase platinum credit card that allows balance transfer from your old card. Or, if you're getting your first credit card, you may be interested in a student card.

I recommend: Chase offers a complete list of their balance transfer credit cards, but read the specifications on each because the terms of balance transfer differ among Chase credit cards. Chase also offers a general purpose student card for students obtaining the first credit card.
