But you have to be disciplined enough to keep on top of it and actually put time into researching/applying/transferring/tracking all this stuff. If you do, you can save a ton.

As with a lot of things, the price of doing nothing can get pretty steep. Lazy people pay interest.
I going to call BS on this. Every offer I receive has a transfer fee. You are paying the interest up front. It's been a very long time since I've seen a balance transfer offer without a 3% fee.
