USAA Savings Credit Card Complaint

APR or interest rate

USAA Savings Credit card department,

APR or interest rate Washington

I applied and received a credit card from USAA with a 0.0 % APR for balance transfers. After I was approved, I found out that balance transfers would be at 12.9 % APR. The day after I applied and was approved, I went online, and all mention of the promotion on the USAA website was gone. I called and asked them to look into what happened. On - -, USAA send a letter ( attached ) and said that they found the problem, and that they would now apply the 0.0 % APR to my balance transfers. However, because of the problem, I did n't make any balance transfers because I did n't want to pay the 12.9 %. The promotion ended in - 2015, and now USAA says that I can not transfer any balances and receive the 0.0 APR. They said that regulations prevent them from honoring the original agreement and that I should have transferred the balance before the offer expired. All I want is to transfer the balance of another card and get the 0.0 % APR they offered when I applied for the card. I have banked with USAA for many years, and they have been an excellent organization until this incident. I have discussed the problem with - levels of their customer service, and they have been sympathetic, but unwilling to honor the original agreement. If I had been able to transfer the money when I received the card, I would have saved about $500.00 in interest that I could have used to pay down my balance ( which was the sole reason I for applying for the card ).
