Great for:

A relatively low ongoing APR. The Citi Diamond Preferred not only comes with an exceptionally long introductory period on balance transfers, it also offers a relatively low ongoing APR, especially if you have good to excellent credit. While you should do your best to pay off your balance in full by the end of the introductory period, this feature helps make it one of our picks for the best balance transfer credit card.

Staff Review

Editor's Rating:

3.6 out of 5

Our take: Thanks to its long introductory offer on balance transfers, the Citi Diamond Preferred Card is a solid option if you need to pay down debt. Just be sure to factor in the card’s high balance transfer fee when weighing options.
