My Bank of America credit card interest increased by 27% after I missed my bill payment. With $10 000 balance I was suppose to pay hundreds of dollars every month (interest only). With 740 credit score it was terrible to pay interest like that. I transfered my balance and it saved me a lot of money.

REVIEW:
For those who stuck with high interest payments I would suggest to apply for this card. The best thing is to visit branch and ask teller about transfer opportunities. In less than 5 minutes they can give you the lowest interest rate you can qualify. With perfect credit score you can receive as low as 8% APR.

REVIEW:
I have decent credit of around 650 and was concerned that I would be turned down for this card AND a lower rate. Citi came through with one of the lowest regular APRs available in addition to 0% on transfers. I've called them a few times to make transfers and they've been really great to deal with. When other banks aren't helping the consumer, Citi seems to have their stuff together.

Don't be fooled by Citibank offer.... this bait-n-switch method could result in your interest rate ballooned up to 26%. That means you pay over $1 for every $4 you owed. How could this be allowed in the US? Where is the goverment when we needed them.

REVIEW:
Don't fall for Citi's supposed 0% APR on balance transfers. I've beena loyal Citi customer for nearly 10 years and they totally ripped me off when I did a balance transfer with them recently. It is a balance transfer of APR of 0% until March 2011. What they don't tell you is any normal monthly charges on the card will get interest charged on them at the full APR immediately. You can imagine my surprise when I paid off my monthly charges for the month in full, did not pay off my balance transfer and still got hit with an interest charge. Citi used to be good but now they're nickeling and diming customers to death. They're cutting back on rebates and their customer service is purposfully circuitous when speaking with a rep. They've also reduced their cashback rebates. Go somewhere else because Citi's going to rip you off.
I definitely would not recommend this card to a friend.

REVIEW:
From their fine print here are the two most important pieces of information you need. This is where they make their money on this "great card" The variable Penalty APR is up to 29.99% and may be applied if you make a late payment or make a payment that is returned. Balance transfer fee -- 5.0% of balance transfer amount, $10 minimum
I definitely would not recommend this card to a friend.
