The Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card, from our partner Citibank, is a top pick for anyone looking to save money with a long intro APR on balance transfers. This card comes with an intro APR of 0% for 21 months on Balance Transfers and 0% for 12 months on Purchases. That lengthy intro period on balance transfers could potentially save you hundreds of dollars if you’re currently paying a high interest rate on another credit card.
Likewise, the 0% for 12 months on Purchases can come in handy if you need to make a big purchase and want to spread the payments out over a year with no interest. After the intro APRs, the ongoing interest rate will be 16.49% - 27.24% (Variable) APR. To top it off, the Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card charges no annual fee.
While this card doesn’t come with a dedicated rewards program on purchases, cardholders will enjoy the ability to split your payment for eligible purchases of $75 or more into a fixed payment with Citi® Flex Pay. And as you use this card to pay down your balances, you can monitor your FICO® Score online for free.
