:
A 743 true FICO is a very good score that will garner you the best interest rate at most locations. For example this is considered a Tier 1 credit score when getting an auto loan.
18% is OK, however you should definitely shop around. There are many options out there for someone with both good credit and income. You should be able to find a card out there with a 10-12% rate (non-promotional).
The most important thing however, is to covet your credit score, make sure you don't bite off more than you can chew, pay your bills on time and don't keep opening new account after new account (especially beware of the Target, Best Buy, Kohls and other retailer cards).
Good job and keep it up.
