To Whom It May Concern:

I very much appreciate the services provided by this website and have a
question. I am interested in the best balance transfer offer and over the
past two days it seemed as if the best for at least the next few months
would be the Aria 0%. I still, however, come up short in verifying that
there is or isn't any TRANSACTION FEE associated with balance transfers?
Your narrative about the offer doesn't state whether or not there is one
like there is for the Wingspan.com / GOMEZ $75 offer (a whopping 3% ) which
totally reshapes the offer.

Please confirm whether or not there is a transaction fee associated with the
ARIA 0% Platinum offer!

Thanks so much for your recent inquiry! I really appreciate you bringing the Wingspan transfer fee to our attention! We just posted this offer yesterday and for some reason forgot to include this warning. This is still a great offer, though, because the maximum charge for the transfer fee is $35 (the minimum is $5). While you are correct that the transfer fee is based on a 3% fee rate, you will not be charged more than $35. For instance, is you transferred $5,000, 3% X $5,000 equals $150....however, you would only be charged $35.

As for Aria, we have been advertising this offer for a while and have never heard of a fee. Moreover, I called today to verify this on your behalf (spoke to customer service rep.). Aria's transfer offer, though, does have some IMPORTANT terms that you should be aware of though. You can read these terms on the following page on our site, if you haven't done so yet...

Hope this helps!
