Why You Might Want This Card

It’s All in the Name

This card does exactly what it says, no limits, no confusion, no categories. You sign up, there is no introductory welcome bonus, you get 1% cash back when you purchase something and 1% cash back when you pay, there are no category bonuses, no surprises. This card does offer $0 annual fee and 0% APR for 18 months on balance transfers.

More than Just Cash Back

You have a couple of options when it comes to redeeming. You can request a check, get a statement credit or if you have a Citi savings or checking account you can get a credit right into your account. Increments are done with a minimum of $25. Another fun option that’s fairly new is converting your cash into ThankYou points -- converting is $1 to 100 Citi ThankYou Points. This last option is especially useful if you are holding the Citi Premier or Citi Prestige card already where points are transferable to a number of different partners, giving you even better value toward travel.

Bottom Line

This is a no hassle kind of card, the only thing you’ll be investing is a hit to your credit and a hit toward some of the credit card rules out there. The Citi Double Cash Card does have a foreign transaction fee so it’s not to be taken abroad. If you already hold the Citi Premier or Prestige card, it’s a great addition to your wallet, enhancing your ThankYou points without too much thought, if you don’t have those cards, don’t waste your sign up on this one. 2% Back is on the lower end when it comes to rewards.
