Title says CSP, post says CSR. Either way, there's nothing hot about paying 5% interest on a credit card balance.

Understood, but most people would agree it's best to avoid paying interest on a credit card balance. Either adjust spending and pay it down, or get a card with a 0% APR promo. Heck, if you have Ultimate Rewards (and you probably do if you have a CSP), redeem them for a statement credit before carrying a balance.

Agreed, but during these tough times not many can keep up with those payments and this will reduce the APR and also this needs manual activation

Certainly. Hopefully this saves people in that situation some money and helps them get out of their hole, without encouraging unnecessary spending.

I agree that 5% interest is normally not a hot deal, but 0% balance transfer offers have been pretty hard to come by for the past year and there's no evidence that credit will be opening up soon.

You still need to be a CSP cardholder and be targeted for this, plus who knows what the criteria are. And I still think it makes much more sense to cash in URs than pay 5% and wipe out most, if not all, of their value.
