"There is a balance transfer fee of either $5 or 3% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater."
PLEASE STOP REPLYING TO A TWO YEAR OLD POST WONDERING WHY YOU CAN NOT FIND THIS SPECIFIC CARD/DEAL ANYMORE.
(above added after like the 6th person in a year necroed this discussion to reply to this post- original post from 2019 below)
Chase Slate is only 15 months but 0% balance transfer fee.
The slate itself sucks as a card to actually use for anything other than the BT, but if you're mainly concerned about the BT, and the 3 extra months won't kill you, it saves you 3% of however much you're transferring over this... plus once you're done with the BT you can product change it into a genuinely useful card like a Freedom or something.

Offering 18 mo 0% APR on BT WITH a 3% fee is not a deal.
1) It has international transaction fees when you're traveling abroad, they charged me $350 out of no where for it a month after my trip.
2) The auto pay system is broken when you try to set it to pay a set amount, paid in 2 split payments twice a month. I'd set it to an amount and 2 split payments. It keeps paying the full amount. It's done it twice now.
Again this card has ZERO protections and benefits anymore. I have abandoned the card after the last payment.

When you call the 800 phone number you will be speaking to a foreign country 100% of the time. You will be dealing with people that speak English but don't understand it. If you are lucky you can resolve your issues in less than an hour. This company could care less about American Jobs its all about the profit and sticking it to you if you try to leave them.
Alliant Visa gives me 3% back my first year - Good Luck
You can but the desktop app is a bit ghetto. It uses flash I believe and most computer systems are starting to block flash. You can still do it via browser.
Don't bother with CITI. I would go for Discover card. They still offer great balance transfer options. CITI has cut this benefit esp now with the COVID-19.

Oh yeah definitely this is NOT a travel card. Benefits suck. No Protections other than fraud. Just 2% cash back is all you're getting with this card.
This is also incorrect.
Fidelity for example offers a 2% CB card-
https://www.fidelity.com/cash-man...ature-card [fidelity.com]
There's also a way to get 2.25% on everything via BoA but requires the highest status tier with them.
There's even one that offers 2.5%, though after the first year they charge an annual fee so it's not worth keeping past that unless you don't travel and spend a lot on non-category stuff.
And of course for those who DO travel the non-category cards that earn 1.5x chase UR or 2x Amex MR are likely better deals than a 2% CB card.
Highest cash back from BoA in non-category is actually 2.625%, with tier 3 status and their Premium Reward card (which they pay you $4 a year to have if you can actually get value out of the $99 annual airline credit)
it's 1.5% normally, with 75% bonus, so 2.625%. Tier 2 would get you 2.25.
Also their no-AF travel card earns the same, but those points are only good as 1 cent cash when used to pay off travel charges.
For those who travel much, if any of that is better or worst than getting 1.5x UR or 2x MR from Chase and Amex cards will be determined by amount and type of travel and how many points you've already got banked I suppose.... The BoA 2.625% beats both if you are just redeeming the UR/MR for minimum value via things like the Chase Portal or Amex portal (or Schwab 1.25x cash loophole).... but probably falls behind for point transfer redemptions to Hyatt or at least some airlines.
