Found this interesting article about credit cards balance transfers. It reinforces the idea that, if you're disciplined enough, transferring your balance to a new card at a great introductory rate can actually help get you out of debt.
Opening a second account, while keeping the old account open, can certainly help your credit score, but with 0% APR rates available on balance transfers for up to 18 months, there's an added incentive to get your credit under control.
