Why 5 Stars?

Regular APR

The normal, ongoing APR of 17.24% that applies to any balance you carry is below 20%. That’s a better than average credit card interest rate, but nothing to get excited about.
4 Stars

Intro APR

There’s no intro APR on purchases, so don’t get this card to buy something big you can’t pay off. But on the other hand, the balance transfer intro APR is 0% for 18 months. That’s about as good as it gets.
5 Stars

Fees

There’s no annual fee and no foreign transaction fee, which is always good news. But the cash advance fee is higher than average at 5%, plus there is an up to 29.99% penalty APR that kicks in if you miss a payment by paying late or having your payment returned. There are a lot of cards that don’t have a penalty APR at all.
4 Stars

Perks

Unlimited 2% cash back – 1% when you make a purchase and 1% when you pay the bill – is as high as it gets. Sure, you can get higher cash back in revolving categories that you have to keep track of, but Citi Double Cash doesn’t make you jump through any hoops to get your cash.
5 Stars

Overall

Get this card for the cash back or for the balance transfer option. Yeah the APR isn’t amazing and the fees have some gotchas, but if you can pay off your balance on time and avoid cash advances, you’ll be fine.
