These are two market-leading cards from Citi. The Citi Simplicity® Card offers a top-notch 0% intro APR on balance transfers and purchases for 21 months, then 14.74% to 24.74% variable. The Citi® Double Cash Card offers the same intro APR on transfers but no intro period on purchases. However, it pays 1% cash back on all purchases, then another 1% as you pay them off.
