Best Introductory Balance Transfer Credit Card

Post subject: Best intro balance transfer card?


I'm looking for a new card that should have a 0% apr on the balance transfer and no fees to transfer. Around 12 months for this feature is ideal. I know Citi Simplicity has this, but wondered what other cards may as well. From what I could tell on the other citi 0% balance transfers they included the 3% fee up to $75. I may do this, but I'm looking for alternatives first. I have about $5000 I'd like to transfer at this time. Thanks.

Pretty much all the Citi cards are 0% no BT fee for 12 months. They all say 3% upto $75, but they also say "waived with this offer".

Oh nice I didn't see the "waived with this offer" part on the other citi cards. Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll try for the Citi Diamond Preferred. I just got the Citi Dividend Platinum Select, but intend to use it as my main purchase card. Good thing Citi is good at combining cards when that time comes:)

be careful...they might give you a low limit if you just got another citi card with a high limit...they often want to see how you perform...
