I have noticied two companies that have a banner ad/links on two web sites that have mis-leading offers. Well guess what one of them is one your web site! I am looking at it now just to the left of this message posting board. Capital One has a banner ad that states 8.9% fixed APR for a VISA; right under it it states 0% bal. transfer offer! Well you click on the banner and it takes you to their web site, but no where (I looked for 20 min.) does it say anything about a dang 0% bal. transfer offer!
Another offer (different web site -cardtrack.com) has a similar offer from CHASE. Again the banner ad states 0% intro for bal. transfers. When you click on the ad no where in their web site/ offer for the credit card does it say anything about 0% intro. for anything. These companies are misleading people and need to be made aware of it.
If you can tell me where I can specifically look to actually find these mystery 0% offers please let me know!

Mark,
Thanks for your post! So sorry for the confusion about the the 0% Capital One offer. That particular offer ended last week, but for some reason the ad to the left of the board did not get updated (all of our other ads on our site did get updated). Anyway, I updated it a few minutes ago. The 8.9% ongoing rate still stands. I would suggest contacting Capital One by phone directly as I have seen other Capital One 0% ads in the last day or two, so they still may be offer 0% to select applicants (wouldn't hurt to check). You can also view other 0% offers by visiting our "low introductory rate report".
As for CardWeb's ad...you will have to contact them for explanation.

It appears that Capital One or the web site owner has mysteriously updated their banner ad today and left off the part about the 0% transfer balance. Thx for all the input everyone.
