Finding the best balance transfer credit card can be about as much fun as a broken leg. Oh, you can find them easily enough, and everyone wants you to believe theirs is the best. If there were as many as best balance transfer credit cards as the ads claim, you'd never have a problem.

Unfortunately, that's not the case, and if you want a really good card, you have to be willing to read some fine print and do some homework. On the up side, it's not as much work as you might think -- there are just a few things to watch out for.
