Citi Card Balance Transfer Policy

by Mr Credit Card

Like all other credit card issuers, Citicard’s balance transfer policy has evolved since the credit crisis erupted a year ago. Whereas, everyone (including Citi) were offering 0% balance transfer deals for 12 months and waiving their balance transfer fees, Citi has now become more conservative.

Like other card issuers, they have reduced their introductory period to 6 months from the 12 months that used to be common pre-credit crisis. They have also re-introduced a fee for transferring a balance (3% – which is the standard these days). While cards like American Express have simply got away from offering these balance transfer deals, at least Citi is still having them.

Citicards to consider for balance transfer -The Citi Forward(SM) Card offers a 0% APR* Introductory Rate for up to 7 months while the Citi® Platinum Select® MasterCard® offers 0% APR* Intro Rate for up to 12 months.

    Thanks for the info. I was cringing as I read this, as my husband and I just got a Citi card for the purpose of transferring a balance. Fortunately we got the last one you mentioned. We’re planning on paying it completely off before the interest rate kicks in, and we don’t plan on ever having a credit card balance again after that.

    I have the dividend card that gives 5% rewards in the form of thankyou points for “everyday” purchases but the 5 % ended for me now that I passed twelve months. I am closing it and moving over to the professional card as it gives me 3% for everyday purchases with no time limit ( or at least until citi changes it for me :-) ). Until then though – the professional card for me.
