What is APR and why is it important?
APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It's the annual interest rate you'll pay if you carry a balance on your credit card.

- Different types: Purchase APR, balance transfer APR, and cash advance APR may differ
- Intro rates: Many cards offer 0% APR for a limited time on purchases or balance transfers
- Avoid interest: Pay your full balance each month to avoid paying interest
