A recent analysis by the Boston and Philadelphia Federal Reserve Banks found that approximately 25% of credit card debt in the US from 2018 to 2019 was a result of introductory offers. The study, which used data from about 70% of all US credit card accounts, revealed that 80% of these offers had 0% annual percentage rates, but interest rates increased by an average of 16 percentage points after the promotional period ended. The researchers also discovered evidence of "card flipping," where nearly half of the debt accumulated on promotional credit cards came from balances grown on other promotional cards.
