Our verdict

The Citi Rewards+SM Card has one of the best sign-up bonuses and rewards programs for those looking to use this as an everyday card beyond paying off debt from a balance transfer. At 15 months, the 0% introductory APR is a bit shorter than other cards, and there are some limitations on how you can spend your points, including caps on bonus categories.

Balance transfer example If you have a balance of $6,200 with an APR of 18.49% and pay $200 toward the balance each month, you would pay off your debt in 44 months with a total interest of $2,294.80. If you transferred that balance and still paid $200 each month, you’d pay off your debt in 35 months with total interest and fees amounting to $753.91, based on the average regular APR.
