In-Depth Credit Card Review |
This online card application is intended for residents of the United States only. For other country options, please refer to the right hand menu bar.
The Citi® Professional(SM) Card with ThankYou(SM) Network, issued by Citibank, is designed for those with average credit who are looking to maintain and manage all of their personal and business expenses with one credit card.
The card offers access to a free rewards program. Through the reward program, the cardholder receives one point for every dollar spent on general purchases and three points for every dollar spent at restaurants, gas stations, certain office supply merchants, and on auto rentals. Points can be redeemed for a variety of merchandise, air travel, and gift certificates. There is a yearly limit of 100,000 points, and points expire in three years.
The card has no annual fee, an attractive 0% introductory rate on purchases for twelve months. However, there is a minimum cap for cash advances; so no matter how low the Prime Rate falls (the APR is tied to the Prime Rate), the interest rate will not go below the minimum cap.
Aside from the reward program, cardholders can expect access to a variety of benefits that include up to $1,000,000 in travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and various travel and emergency assistance services.
The card also offers cardholders the benefit of the online expense reporting tool, which allows cardholders to categorize card activity and generate as many individual, easy-to-read expense reports as they choose.
Therefore, individuals who will take advantage of the rewards program and the additional benefits (especially the online expense reporting tool) will benefit most from what the Citi® Professional(SM) Card with ThankYou(SM) Network has to offer.
Most Attractive Feature: Free rewards program; three points per dollar for select purchases; online expense reporting tool.
Least Attractive Feature: Minimum APR cap for cash advances.
