Intro APR winner
Tie
-
Both credit cards offer a 0 percent introductory APR on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months. Even after the 15 months are up, the variable APRs that will kick in are still very similar: 18.99% – 28.49% Variable for the Freedom Unlimited and 19.24% – 29.24% (Variable) for the Quicksilver.
However, the cards do differ when it comes to balance transfer fees. The Quicksilver charges a pretty standard 3 percent fee on transferred balances for the first 15 months, whereas the Freedom Unlimited charges an introductory 3 percent fee ($5 minimum) for balances transferred within the first 60 days. If you wait to transfer your balance after 60 days, the fee jumps to 5 percent ($5 minimum).
