Chase Cash Plus® Rewards Visa® Card

The Chase Cash Plus® Rewards Visa® Card, issued by Chase, is designed for those with very good credit who plan to take advantage of the cash reward program.

Through the reward program, cardholders earn five points for every dollar spent at grocery stores, gas stations, and drug stores, as well as one point for every $1 spent on all other purchases. After earning 5,000 points, cardholders can choose between a $50 check or a $50 gift certificate to leading merchants such as The Home Depot®, Best Buy, Pizza Hut®, and BLOCKBUSTER®. There is a maximum of 30,000 points that may be earned in one year, and points expire in three years.

The card has a reasonably low interest rate for purchases (for a reward card), no annual fee, and an attractive 0% APR introductory rate for up to twelve months, which can be applied toward purchases and balance transfers.

Finance charges applied use the "Two-Cycles Average Daily Balance" method, which is a more costly method in applying finance charges for those who occasionally carry a balance as compared to the "Average Daily Balance" method used by most card issuers.

The card provides platinum cardholder benefits including up to $500,000 in travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and various travel and emergency assistance services.

Therefore, those who plan on taking advantage of the reward program and plan to pay in full each month after the introductory rate expires (to avoid costly finance charges) will benefit most from what the Chase Cash Plus® Rewards Visa® Card has to offer.

Most Attractive Feature(s): No annual fee; 0% APR intro rate on purchases and balance transfers for up to twelve months; up to 5% cash back reward.
Least Attractive Feature(s): Uses "Two-Cycles Average Daily Balance" method when determining finance charges; higher APR for less qualifying applicants.

The Citi® Professional Card, issued by Citibank

The Citi® Professional Card, issued by Citibank, is designed for those with average credit who are looking to maintain and manage all of their personal and business related expenses with a credit card.



The card offers access to a free rewards program. Through the reward program, the cardholder receives one point for every dollar spent on general purchases and three points for every dollar spent at restaurants, gas stations, certain office supply merchants, and on auto rentals. Points can be redeemed for a variety of merchandise, air travel, and gift certificates. There is a yearly limit of 100,000 points, and points expire in three years.

Aside from the reward program, cardholders can expect access to a variety of platinum benefits that include up to $1,000,000 in travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and various travel and emergency assistance services.

The card offers cardholders the benefit of the Citi® Professional Card's online expense reporting tool, which allows cardholders to categorize card activity and generate as many individual, easy-to-read expense reports as they choose.

The card has no annual fee, an attractive 0% introductory rate for balance transfers for the first nine months of membership, and a reasonable interest rate for purchases and balance transfers. However, there is a minimum cap for cash advances; so no matter how low the Prime Rate falls (the APR is tied to the Prime Rate), the interest rate will not go below the minimum cap.
