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® Diamond Preferred® Card, issued by Citibank, is designed for those with good credit who plan to take advantage of the introductory rates and the excellent services.
This card has no annual fee, and it has a reasonable interest rate for purchases and balance transfers. In addition, the card has a 0% introductory rate that can be applied toward purchases and balance transfers for up to twelve months. Nevertheless, it is important to note that there is a minimum cap of 19.99% 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.
The card also provides many cardholder benefits that include up to $1,000,000 in travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, car rental discounts, and various travel and emergency assistance services.
Therefore, those who plan to take advantage of the 0% introductory rate for purchases and balance transfers and the many services that are provided will benefit most from what the Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card has to offer.
Most Attractive Feature: Long term 0% introductory rate; no annual fee; reasonable APR.
Least Attractive Feature: Minimum APR cap for cash advances.
