How do I work out/find out my existing card APRs?

2011 will be my year for paying off my card debt. How do I find out which card has the highest rate so I can pay that off first. Some of my statements don't seem to have this info and others display it in a monthly rate whilst some display it in an annual rate - help!!

    Why not list the names of the cards you have and what monthly / annual rates that are provided?

    If you'd prefer not to, the annual rate speaks for itself, multiplying a monthly rate by 12.6 will turn it in to an annual rate and a phone call to the card company will fill the gaps in for the missing detail (although it surely states somewhere on the statement what the rate is).

    I'd be very surprised if they don't display one or the other, being as it's a requirement of the lending code*! Me thinks you're not looking hard enough. ;)
