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® Platinum Select® MasterCard, issued by Citibank, is designed for those with fair to good credit or those looking to establish credit history.
This card has a slightly above average interest rate for purchases and balance transfers, but it does offer a 0% introductory APR on purchases for the first six months. There is also no annual fee.
It is important to note that 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.
The card does provide several platinum cardholder benefits that include auto rental insurance, fraud protection services, and up to $1,000,000 in travel accident insurance. However, there are no extraordinary benefits or services specifically available to cardholders in comparison to some other platinum credit cards.
Therefore, those with fair to good credit who plan to take advantage of the introductory offer and the services provided will benefit most from what the Citi® Platinum Select® MasterCard has to offer.
Most Attractive Feature: 0% introductory rate; no annual fee.
Least Attractive Feature: Minimum APR cap for cash advances.
