The USAA Rate Advantage Credit Card offers one of the lowest potential ongoing interest rates on the market but you must be a USAA member or become a member to apply. A low-interest credit card like this can help you save a lot of money if you can’t pay off large balances quickly but keep in mind that not every applicant will qualify for the low end of that range. Your actual APR will depend on your creditworthiness and other factors, and you won’t know your rate until you’re approved. Read our in-depth Review to learn more.
