If you go to Citibank website at www.citicards.com, you’ll see that they have 19 different credit cards that are offered. Too many choices can be a little overwhelming for anyone when looking for the right credit card as they offer cards for all kinds of different categories including gas rewards, 0% balance transfer, travel, low interest, cash back rewards, and no annual fee cards. Fortunately, the website has a card finder search feature that is actually very helpful in finding the perfect credit for you. However, I still believe Discover Card and Chase Freedom offer the best cash reward program out there.
But, allow me to go one step further for you and describe the benefits for a few of the cards they offer.
